Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Échezeaux Grand Cru 2012: 92 points, 2017–2032 window

The 2012 Échezeaux of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti carries a Robert Parker Wine Advocate score of 92/100, and our suggested drinking window is 2017 to 2032. The window opened in 2017, so the wine is inside it now. A Pinot Noir from the Échezeaux Grand Cru in the commune of Flagey-Échezeaux, in the Burgundy Côte de Nuits.

4.67 ha of Échezeaux, owned since before 1869

The estate owns 4.67 ha of Échezeaux. Unlike Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, it is not a monopole: the appellation is larger than the domaine’s share, and the estate holds one part of it. Jacques-Marie Duvault-Blochet already owned vines in Échezeaux when he bought Romanée-Conti on 25 November 1869. The Échezeaux holding was therefore part of the family’s land before the purchase of Romanée-Conti. The appellation was first recognised by the decree of 31 July 1937.

The estate’s harvest records for 2009 to 2019 range from 8,878 bottles of Échezeaux (2013) to 18,589 (2009); no Échezeaux was bottled in 2016.

How the 2012 Côte de Nuits vintage reads

The Robert Parker Wine Advocate vintage chart gives red Côte de Nuits 2012 a score of 95 and the letter T, which means still tannic or youthful. The 95 rates the vintage as a whole; the 92 is Wine Advocate’s score for this wine.

Biodynamic farming by the 2012 harvest

The estate has farmed its vineyards organically since 1985. It trialled biodynamic methods from 1990 to 2006 and adopted them across the estate afterwards, so by 2012 the whole estate was farmed biodynamically; Biodyvin certification followed in 2016, and the estate appears in the Biodyvin member list for 2026. Whole clusters never make up less than 60% of the estate’s red fermentations.
