Drawn from the revered Grands Échézeaux vineyard in Flagey Échézeaux in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, the wine reflects a season that delivered natural richness with firm structural definition. The fruit was harvested in early September at ideal ripeness, producing berries of concentration and clarity that shape a wine of gravitas and quiet intensity. It is an expression that feels anchored in its site, muscular in profile yet balanced by purity, freshness and a composed sense of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"1160\"\u003eThe vineyard sits on deeper, denser soils than neighbouring Échézeaux, lending the wine a darker fruit spectrum and a more vertical, brooding architecture. Domaine de la Romanée Conti farms this parcel with focus on vine balance and soil vitality, ensuring measured yields and precise ripeness. In 2022, the site voiced its character with dark berry depth, fine savoury detail and a firmly coiled structure that will open gradually with time. Its density is matched by a velvety texture, revealing refinement within its muscular frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1620\"\u003eWinemaking at the domaine respects the natural shape of the fruit. Gentle handling preserves aromatic integrity, allowing the wine to articulate complex layers of dark fruit, spice and mineral nuance. The 2022 Grands Échézeaux carries its concentration with composure, closing on a long, contemplative finish. Released in limited quantities, it is a Grand Cru built for extended ageing, shaped by patience, precision and an enduring connection to its origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1757\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1642\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003e – Dark and brooding\u003cbr data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1667\"\u003e Blackberry, blackcurrant and dark cherry with hints of licorice, incense and earthy spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1759\" data-end=\"1895\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"1768\"\u003e – Dense and velvety\u003cbr data-start=\"1787\" data-end=\"1790\"\u003e Layered dark fruit supported by firm tannins and a tightly focused structure with a subtle herbal thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"2010\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1903\" data-end=\"1906\"\u003e – Persistent and mineral\u003cbr data-start=\"1930\" data-end=\"1933\"\u003e Long, smoky mineral accents with lingering dark fruit and a touch of menthol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2012\" data-end=\"2183\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2031\" data-end=\"2034\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Concentrated with firm tannic backbone and great length.
