About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirBurgundy, FranceDomaine de la Romanée-Conti is simply known 'The Domaine' in Burgundy. The Domaine has positioned itself as the world authority in Pinot Noir through over a century of painstaking attention to detail in both the vineyard and the winery. The Échézeaux vineyard contains very little top soil above the hard limestone base and as such, the fruit has no trouble in ripening. This was the case in 2007 again and the wine produced is an extremely elegant style, but balanced with real power and concentration. The Échézeaux continues its recent history of comparing very favourably to the higher reputed siblings in the Domaine stable.

A more densely fruited nose that is intensely floral in character intermingles with more subtle spice and earth notes as well as notes of game, jerky and tea, most of which are picked up by the fresh, intense, powerful and tautly muscled big-bodied flavors that possess terrific mouth feel and truly impressive finishing depth. This possesses impressive dry extract that renders the firm tannins almost invisible at present but I suspect this buffering effect will not last long before this shuts down.
