Reviews of 1997 Romanee Conti, Domaine de la Grands Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir
91 points, Burghound
January 2008
A pretty mix of upper and lower register aromas feature floral and slightly stemmy notes along with the more classic red and black berry fruit and spice notes that precede slightly somber and reserved medium full flavors that are delicious but clearly in need of more time to really reach their apogee. In fact, this is a backward '97 that is borderline grumpy today and if you're tempted to open a bottle, be sure to give it at least an hour of air, more if possible. In sum, a quality if not exceptional effort for the vintage.

October 1999
The ruby-colored 1997 Grands-Echezeaux offers red and black raspberry liqueur aromas. It is a medium-to-full-bodied, oily-textured wine that possesses good power and density. Smoked bacon, sweet wax, and spices are found in the fat, plump, seductive offering.

Good deep red. Lovely earthy redcurrant perfume dominates the nose, which is more vibrant and deeper than that of the Echezeaux. Sappy and sweeter, with a stronger impression of extract and ripeness. More solidly structured and longer than the Echezeaux, but also a bit more affected by the recent bottling. This and the above wine were racked last March, while the foregoing crus were racked for the first time last July.

About the Winery Romanee Conti, Domaine de la
"Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is without question the most famous estate in Burgundy and arguably the greatest. The domaine has 25 hectares of vineyards, all Grand Crus, including the jewel in the crown, the 1.8 hectare monopole of Romanée-Conti. Yields are mind numbingly low and the winemaking is traditional and perfectionist."
