🏰 The 2017 vintage for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Grands Échézeaux was marked by cooler, steady weather, allowing gradual ripening that preserved freshness and aromatic complexity. Critics noted it as a generous vintage, expressing a classical interpretation of intricate structure, power, intensity, and length, allowing for earlier drinkability compared to some other vintages. This Grand Cru Pinot Noir from DRC, a global icon, offers a vibrant ruby color. On the nose, expect a harmonious bouquet of fresh red fruits, rose petals, delicate spices, and earthy notes, evolving into more brooding cassis, blackberries, blood orange, exotic spices, and musk. The palate is full-bodied, ample, and fleshy, with considerable concentrated fruit framed by powdery tannins and succulent acids, leading to a long, penetrating finish. 【全球釀酒工藝的象徵】 🍴 This wine is a perfect match for refined white meats, mushroom dishes, and semi-aged cheeses.
