Dibao Wine assesses Grands Échézeaux for acquisition.
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's (DRC) Grands Échézeaux Grand Cru lies in Flagey-Échézeaux beside Échézeaux. Its style is generally broader and more structured. DRC owns about 3.53 hectares here, with annual production of around 1,000–1,200 cases. Scarcity may attract collectors, while bottle condition and provenance determine an individual assessment.
Our team provides a bottle-specific review and a market-based quotation after inspection. We are interested in vintages including 1990, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2015, and enquiries about other vintages are welcome. Contact our wine adviser with clear bottle photographs.

❓ Frequently asked questions about selling DRC wine
Q1: Where can I sell Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)?
A: We assess the full range of DRC wines, including Grands Échézeaux. Traditional auction houses may involve longer timetables and commissions commonly cited here as 15-25%. A direct acquisition is agreed separately after inspection, with all terms explained before handover.
Q2: Will a damaged or stained label affect the acquisition value?
A: For mature vintages such as 1990 and 1999, minor signs of age are normal. Provided the ullage is acceptable and the capsule is intact, the wine can still be assessed from clear photographs and physical inspection.
Q3: What is the difference between Grands Échézeaux and Échézeaux?
A: Grands Échézeaux (GE) and Échézeaux (E) are distinct Grand Cru wines. GE is often described as fuller, more concentrated and longer-lived. A historical comparison placed DRC Grands Échézeaux 30%-50% above DRC Échézeaux; current value must be checked against the actual vintage, condition and provenance.
