Grands Echezeaux 1982 Domaine de la Romanee Conti

Professional reviews

The Grands Echezeaux is velvety and forward, and given its quality, a good value for a Domaine de la Romanee-Conti wine.

The 1983 vintage for Domaine de la Romanee-Conti was a very tough year. First there was hail, then the advent of rot in August thanks to the tropical heat and humidity. When the harvest occurred, the domaine instructed its pickers to pick the grapes, not the grape bunches, by hand and to discard all of the rotten grapes. The results are splendidly concentrated, rich wines
