Tasting notes
The 1966 Echezeaux Grand Cru is everything a Burgundy-lover could wish for. It has an open, expressive, delineated bouquet with dried rose petals and bergamot, hints of orange rind in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with bewitching balance and focus, perfectly pitched acidity and an elegant, feminine and graceful finish that leaves the mouth tingling. Weightless and yet intense, you yearn for another sip. This constitutes one of the finest mature DRC wines that I have tasted. Tasted November 2013. When an acquaintance approached me brandishing a bottle of Richebourg from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, I would never have guessed the vintage (though knowing him I should have guessed.)

About the producer
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or simply “DRC” is without doubt the most famous domaine in Burgundy and one of the most famous producers on earth. The Grand Cru vineyard from which it takes its name produces the world’s most expensive wine by a long margin.
