A Rare Burgundy Grand Cru from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échézeaux Grand Cru 1997 is a fine example of mature Burgundy wine from one of the most prestigious domaines in the world. Sourced directly from Corney & Barrow’s cellar and stored at Octavian, this case of six bottles in their original wooden case represents both a drinking opportunity and a collectible asset.
Tasting Notes & Expert Reviews
“The expressive nose is extremely floral, with classic Vosne spice. Medium-bodied, it shows decent richness but lacks the depth and elegance typically associated with DRC. A touch of greenness in the finish suggests it's drinking well now, but unlikely to improve significantly with further ageing.”
— Allen Meadows, Burghound (89 points, April 2015)
On the palate, expect notes of red cherry, rose petal, sous-bois, and a trace of earthy minerality. While not as nuanced as other vintages, this 1997 Échézeaux Grand Cru delivers characteristic finesse and aromatic intensity — hallmarks of its renowned terroir.

Investment Potential and Cellaring
Although the 1997 vintage lacks some of the refinement seen in other years, DRC’s reputation alone ensures continued demand. The Échézeaux Grand Cru 1997 offers excellent value relative to younger, more expensive vintages and is well-suited for short- to mid-term consumption. Drink now or within the next 5–8 years.

| Winery | (With thanks to Dr. Jeff Chen). The expressive nose is still extremely floral and trimmed in subtle but classic Vosne spice that introduces medium-weight flavours of good richness but not as much nuance or grace as one might want, as the otherwise reasonably complex finish displays a hint of greenness to the supporting structure. I was surprised at how well this was drinking, given the huge format, and while it will certainly hold for years to come, it's not clear that there will be any additional upside development. In short, while this is perfectly good for the vintage, it's not particularly distinguished either. |
