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
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.
