Echezeaux DRC 2011

Situated in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – often abbreviated to DRC – is widely considered among the world`s greatest wine producers. The cult domaine is named after its most famous vineyard, Romanée-Conti, which covers just 1.81 hectares of vines on the mid-slope of the Côte d`Or. DRC is co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families and produces only grand cru wines, such as this Échezeaux, made from a 4.67-hectare vineyard holding. The 2011 vintage is packed with purple fruit, coffee beans, spices, violets and earthy notes. The tannins are very fine, and the acidity is crisp.
