Beautifully integrated wine with vivid, lively flavors of black cherry, van n to a long, firm finish. Delicious now, but give it 3-5 years. ?

The Echezeaux, normally the lightest and least distinguished of these wines, is the best I have tasted from them. Deep ruby, with a fragrant, rich, complex bouquet of violets and spicy oak, this full-bodied wine is quite long, velvety, and will keep until 1995-2000. This fabled estate has had a brilliant track record since 1978. Lalou Bize-Leroy and Aubert de Villaine seem to have everything tightly within their grasps, so it is unlikely that some of the lapses in quality control that occurred previously will resurface. I am sure they still cannot understand why their estate is so frequently singled out for malicious attacks, but no one should have any trouble appreciating the domaine's 1985s, which are their best wines in decades, even surpassing their sensational 1978s. The problem is coming up with the cash to finance them. The wines, aged in 100% new oak, are never filtered.

Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Vous voici en présence du domaine le plus emblématique de Bourgogne, sinon de France voire du monde. Fort du monopole des deux plus grands vignobles – la Romanée-Conti et La Tâche – et d’une collection généreuse de vignes au sein de Vosne-Romanée et au-delà, cette propriété a su s'imposer tout en restant discrète et même modeste. C’est Aubert de Villaine qui dirige le navire - copropriété des familles Villaine et Leroy-Roch-, depuis 1974. Mais les origines de la Romanée-Conti sont bien plus anciennes, remontant au XIIIe siècle, lorsque les premières vignes furent plantées par les moines de Saint-Vivant. La viticulture biologique a été adoptée dans les années 1980, préambule à l’introduction de la biodynamie dans les années 1990. C'est sans doute aussi le domaine le plus célèbre de la région pour la mise en œuvre (depuis toujours) de la fermentation en grappes entières. Cette technique bien établie a été écartée par Henri Jayer, mais a inspiré bien d'autres vignerons ces dernières années. Allen Meadows, sans doute l'expert et critique le plus averti au monde en matière de Bourgogne, n'a décerné une note parfaite qu’à un seul vin - le Romanée-Conti 1945.
