The Gateway to the Divine. The Benchmark Échézeaux. There are wines, and then there is Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. To open a bottle of DRC is to experience the absolute pinnacle of Pinot Noir. It is the most legendary estate on the planet, producing wines of mythical status and rarity.

The Wine: Échézeaux Grand Cru While Échézeaux is a large Grand Cru with many producers, the DRC bottling is in a league of its own. Sourced from the estate's prime parcels (notably Les Poulaillères), it defines what this terroir is capable of. It is widely considered the most accessible and seductive wine in the DRC lineup—a wine of pure charm and elegance.

The Vintage: 2018 A magnificent, solar vintage. The 2018 DRC Échézeaux is opulent and generous. The warmth of the year provided fruit of incredible ripeness, while the Domaine's signature 100% whole-cluster fermentation adds a layer of freshness, spice, and structural backbone that keeps the wine perfectly balanced.
