Tasting Notes: DRC Echézeaux Grand Cru 2001
Elegant Power, Spiced Fruit, and Youthful Energy
The 2001 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echézeaux opens with intoxicating aromas of perfumed dark berry fruit, crushed violets, and the hallmark spiced earthiness that characterises the terroir. On the palate, it displays a stunning balance of vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and a middleweight structure that carries exceptional volume and depth for this vineyard.
One recently tasted bottle showed a notable touch of brettanomyces (brett)—a characteristic which divided opinion. While the presence was off-putting to some, many tasters found that it added a rustic, complex layer to the wine’s evolving character. The core remains pure, sweet-fruited, and impressively powerful, finishing with remarkable persistence and spiced precision.
“More refined than most vintages, this 2001 is loaded with sève, spice, and seductive charm. The brett may not appeal to all, but the wine’s integrity and pedigree shine through.”

| Winery | The latest bottle of this still youthful effort was notably bretty and while the hallmark spice and perfumed dark berry fruit elements were still visible, it would be fair to say that the brett was not additive. There is a lovely sense of vibrancy to the pure, sweet and remarkably powerful middle-weight flavours that possess more volume than usual, all wrapped in a persistent and mouth-coating finish. The amount of sève is impressive, as is the sheer spiciness, and this is a good deal more refined than in most vintages. I should also observe that while I found the brett off-putting, most people loved it. I have only tried this one bottle recently, and thus, I don't know whether it was representative of the wine in general, and thus, my score offers the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't. 92 points Allen Meadows, Burghound (9/2015) |
