WINE DESCRIPTION
This full-bodied and elegant Domaine de La Romanée-Conti Échezeaux Grand Cru is a delightful expression of the Burgundy region. Its deep ruby red color is reflective of a powerful and concentrated nose of ripe red and black fruits, cheerful spices, and gentle earthy aromas. On the palate, flavors of dark red cherries, and blackberries fill the mouth. Hints of leather, tobacco, and a hint of sweet spice linger in the background. The finish is long and satisfying, with fine, velvety tannins that lead to a lingering finish. Enjoy this grand cru with a special occasion or with a meal of roasted duck, game, or beef.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
