Sourced from the domaine’s parcels within Échézeaux in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, the wine captures the clarity and natural brightness that the 2022 season allowed. Fruit harvested in mid September showed ripeness without heaviness, giving a wine that speaks in red toned aromatics, fine tannin and quiet precision. It is an articulate and inviting expression of its terroir, carrying freshness and detail while retaining the depth expected of a Grand Cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"592\" data-end=\"1115\"\u003eThe vineyard, centred on the historic lieu dit Les Poulaillères, sits on lighter soils that lend themselves to a more expressive and graceful style. Domaine de la Romanée Conti farms this site with close attention to vine balance, encouraging even ripening and measured yields. In 2022 the fruit showed particular purity, opening with red and dark berry tones, floral lift and subtle spice. The palate follows with medium weight and polished texture, guided by bright acidity and a gentle, succulently framed core of fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1570\"\u003eWinemaking at the domaine is defined by restraint, allowing the vineyard to lead. Gentle handling preserves aromatic complexity and structural finesse, resulting in a wine that builds with quiet confidence rather than force. The 2022 Échézeaux closes on a fresh, mineral tinged finish that lingers with poise. Released in limited quantities, it balances immediacy with long term potential, offering charm in youth and the structure to evolve gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1701\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1588\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1592\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003e – Bright and expressive\u003cbr data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1621\"\u003e Red and dark berries with violet, light spice and hints of earth and underbrush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1811\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"1712\"\u003e – Supple and polished\u003cbr data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003e Medium bodied with silky tannins, succulent red fruit and balanced acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1904\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1819\" data-end=\"1822\"\u003e – Fresh and fine\u003cbr data-start=\"1838\" data-end=\"1841\"\u003e Lingering fruit and spice with a subtle saline or mineral lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"2041\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1925\" data-end=\"1928\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Absolutely exquisite with impossibly silky tannins and deep, penetrating aromatics.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Vinous, 95 points, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2043\" data-end=\"2163\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Exuberant and expressive with red and black fruits, supple texture and lovely sucrosité.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Decanter, 96 points, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2165\" data-end=\"2317\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Sweet dark berries and cherries with incense, orange zest and spice, broad and sapid on the finish.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 94 points, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2319\" data-end=\"2468\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2333\" data-end=\"2336\"\u003e Style - Red Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"2352\" data-end=\"2355\"\u003e Varietal - Pinot Noir\u003cbr data-start=\"2376\" data-end=\"2379\"\u003e Country - France\u003cbr data-start=\"2395\" data-end=\"2398\"\u003e Region - Burgundy\u003cbr data-start=\"2415\" data-end=\"2418\"\u003e Vintage - 2022\u003cbr data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2435\"\u003e Bottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"2454\" data-end=\"2457\"\u003e ABV - 13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Romanée-Conti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42484165804119,"sku":"DRC-ESC-22","price":4999.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/682f75cb-0164-4307-b1b1-8233b9429930.jpg?v=1768782116","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/domaine-de-la-romanee-conti-echezeaux-grand-cru-2022","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
