Parker 95 points / The 2009 Grands-Echezeaux jumps from the glass with vivid aromatics and equally voluptuous fruit. Despite its richness, the Grands-Echezeaux seems to hover on the palate. Layers of fruit continue to build to the long super-refined finish. Over the last few years the Grands-Echezeaux seems like the most improved wine at DRC. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.

The Story

Lying between Flagey-Échezeaux (home of the ÉCHEZEAUX appellation) and Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée occupies a middle position in the Côte de Nuits. The vines grow at altitudes of 250 to 310 metres and face east or, in some cases, slightly south of east. Vosne-Romanée, the central jewel in the necklace of appellations which is the burgundian côte, is not content with holding a mere four aces but boasts a total of six Grands Crus, each on...

Wine Information

2009 Harvest

In exceptionally sunny years, it often happens that the sun accompanies the grapes, which it took so much care to ripen, from the end of vattings to the birth of the wine. This is what happened this year - a year ending with a « 9 » which once more associates this figure with the star of life.

Vintage 2009

A warm spring with some hail in the northern part of the Côte de Nuits. After an even flowering and a warm June, the summer arrived with variable July weather.

The 2009s have all the structure packed in with rich, luscious fruit. Comparable to the 2005s. Grea...

Written Notes

Ruby red colour with slightly brick red hue. A very typical 2009 with an opulent character. Aromatic depth developing slowly, expressive fruit, dark fruit, black cherries and blackberries, ripe toasting aroma. On the palate velvety and opulent with slightly meaty character, with very good tension, rich yet still elegant with fine acidity. Excellent depth and length with complexity.
