Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échezeaux Grand Cru 2018 – Burgundy's Iconic Expression of Power and Elegance
Buy Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échezeaux Grand Cru 2018 Online – In Bond UK Stock
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échezeaux Grand Cru 2018 is a bold yet refined expression from Burgundy’s most prestigious domaine. Crafted with legendary precision, this Grand Cru Pinot Noir displays an impressive combination of richness, complexity, and structure. Hailing from the Échezeaux vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, this vintage offers both immediacy and remarkable ageing potential, making it a must-have for collectors and fine wine investors alike.
On the nose, you’ll find poached plum, dark currant, and a generous medley of exotic spices, all delicately framed by subtle oak toast. The palate is marked by excellent concentration and layered texture, driven by dry extract that adds a silky, powerful core to the wine. It finishes with youthful austerity, a touch of sweetness, and incredible length – a sign of its cellaring potential.
Awarded 94 points by Allen Meadows (Burghound, January 2021), this Grand Cru bottling is a testament to the consistent brilliance of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Bold yet nuanced, the 2018 Échezeaux demands extended ageing to fully reveal its grandeur.
This listing includes 3 bottles (75cl) In Bond, banded in OWC (original wooden case). Sourced from UK agent stock purchased En Primeur – available now from Corking Wines.

Winery | This is a big and highly complex Ech. Indeed, the word robust applies, but I very much like the evident development potential. Speaking of which, this is also going to need extended patience. |
