Critics Ratings

‘This red offers plenty of fruit initially, with deep strawberry and cherry flavors that show a touch of mint. Fleshy and round, this exhibits more tannins than the Echézeaux, yet its oak is well-absorbed. Fine length. -- Non-blind 2007 DRC tasting (February 2010).' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Aug 2012)

‘Good bright medium red. Cherry liqueur, black raspberry and smoke on the sweet nose, along with some spicy oak. Offers more volume and breadth than the Echezeaux without any impression of weight thanks to piquant underlying minerality. Wonderfully silky and suave wine, finishing with building tannins, superb length and a strong impression of sucrosite.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100

‘The Domaine de La Romanee-Conti 2007 Grands-Echezeaux exhibits a rich, roasted meat dimension to parallel its sweetness of ripe red raspberry and cherry, with hints of vanilla and caramel adding a confectionary hint, and a flatteringly plush, creamy texture. Cardamom, soy, and ginger add pungency and savor to a long, layered finishing melange. Follow it for at least 10-12 years.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Jun 2010)

‘A more densely fruited nose that is intensely floral in character and notably more complex as well intermingles with more subtle spice and earth notes as well as notes of game, jerky and tea, most of which are picked up by the fresh, intense, powerful and moderately well muscled big-bodied flavors that possess an attractive mouth feel and solid finishing depth. This possesses ample dry extract that renders the firm tannins almost invisible at present but I suspect the buffering effect will not last long before this shuts down. This is an understated effort that isn't especially dense or powerful, at least not by the usual superb standards of this wine, but the balance is nigh-on perfect.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Jan 2010)
