It is no secret among DRC aficionados that the "best buy" is the exceptional Grands Echezeaux. The 1991, along with La Tache, get my vote (as of 1993) as the two most complex and rich wines the DRC produced. In 20 years the Romanee-Conti may display its magical perfume that is unrivaled in Burgundy. The Grands Echezeaux exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, gorgeous as well as copious quantities of sweet, jammy, cassis fruit, and smoky, toasty new oak. Powerful, rich, medium to full-bodied, with exceptional concentration, this complex wine should be at its best between 1998-2012. NOTE: Prices have not been released; those listed are estimated based on recent vintages. As did most Burgundy domaines, the DRC had exceptionally low yields in 1991, ranging from under 20 hectoliters per hectare to a high of 26 hectoliters per hectare for the Grands Echezeaux. Unquestionably, all of these wines are successful and should age for two decades. Although the wines have already been bottled, they will not be released until late winter or early spring 1994, thus prices have not yet been established.

Firm in texture but it promises to become an opulent wine. The spicy, violet-scented black cherry and currant flavors roll across the palate in waves. Finishes ripe, smooth and gracefully balanced with refreshing acidity. 799 cases made. ?

Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Dies ist nicht nur die ikonischste Domaine in Burgund, sondern womöglich in ganz Frankreich und auf der ganzen Welt. Mit einem Monopol der beiden größten Weinberge Romanée-Conti und La Tâche, und einer guten Handvoll weiterer in Vosne-Romanée und darüber hinaus, konnte sie sich, bei aller Diskretion und Bescheidenheit, ihren ruhmreichen Status sichern. Sie befindet sich in Gemeinschaftseigentum der beiden Familien Villaine und Leroy-Roch, mit Aubert de Villaine als Geschätsführer seit 1974. Ihre Wurzeln reichen jedoch bis ins 13. Jahrhundert, als die Mönche von Saint-Vivant die ersten Reben setzten. Seit den 1980er-Jahren erfolgt die Bewirtschaftung ökologisch, und seit den 1990ern biodynamisch. Dies ist zweifellos auch die berühmteste Domaine der Region, die die ganzen Trauben fermentiert (und dies schon immer getan hat), ein etabliertes Verfahren, das Henri Jayer vermied, in den letzten Jahren aber viele andere Erzeuger inspiriert hat. Allen Meadows, der vielleicht versierteste Burgunder-Experte und -Kritiker auf der Welt, hat nur einem einzigen Wein jemals die perfekte Bewertung zugestanden – dem 1945er Romanée-Conti.
