Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands Echezeaux 2002

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s Grands Échezeaux 2002 is a rare Grand Cru Burgundy from one of the world’s most revered estates. Crafted from Pinot Noir in Vosne-Romanée, it combines the house’s signature precision and pedigree with the finesse and aromatic detail that make great Burgundy so sought after. The vineyard’s long history, dating back to medieval monastic ownership, adds another layer of prestige to an already exceptional wine.

Makuprofiili
The 2002 Grands Échezeaux shows an expressive bouquet of flowers, perfume, and black cherries, with a graceful lift that is immediately inviting. On the palate, it is satin-textured and delicate, offering pretty black berry fruit, a touch of pepper, and a light to medium-bodied frame. Its finish shows a hint of bitterness in the tannins, and while the wine carries the unmistakable refinement of the estate, it is not among the most persistent of the Grand Cru lineup. Robert Parker suggested an optimal drinking window of 2007–2015, so it is best appreciated now as a mature Burgundy with softened edges and nuanced complexity.

Viininvalmistus
The grapes come from the Grand Cru vineyards of Grands Échezeaux in Burgundy, where Domaine de la Romanée-Conti works with exceptionally low yields and meticulous vineyard care. The estate has long embraced organic farming principles, with biodynamic ideas also influencing the approach, and uses massal selection from old vines to preserve character and quality. Harvesting is done by hand, with a second sorting at the winery to ensure only healthy fruit is used. In the cellar, fermentation is carried out traditionally in large old oak vats, with the wine then moved to new oak barrels after around 20 days. There is no cold soak; instead, the must is allowed to start fermenting naturally after a few days. The wine is aged for 16 to 18 months before bottling, with the estate favoring a restrained, terroir-driven style that keeps intervention to a minimum.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Pinot Noir is a superb match for elegant dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, quail, veal, or mushroom-based recipes, as well as truffle risotto and refined game dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C to allow the wine’s perfume and texture to show fully. If serving from bottle, a gentle decant may help it open, though with a mature wine like this, a careful approach is recommended to preserve its delicate aromatics.

Tuottaja
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is one of Burgundy’s most legendary domaines, based in Vosne-Romanée and known for owning only Grand Cru vineyards. Its modern form was shaped after 1869 by Jacques-Marie Duvault-Blochet, who expanded the estate with parcels in Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux, and Richebourg alongside Romanée-Conti and La Tâche. Since 1992, Aubert de Villaine has led the domaine, maintaining its meticulous standards and reputation for producing some of the most sought-after wines in the world.
