Echezeaux DRC 1985 is a mature Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The historic Echezeaux site, managed by Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, produces a wine of extreme purity and energy. The 1985 vintage provided ideal conditions for the Pinot Noir to develop deep concentration and structural poise. The wine has gained complex secondary aromas from careful wood ageing, leading to a powerful, resonant finish where cherry, rose petal, leather and fine spice feel fully integrated after decades of patient cellaring.
