Montrachet Grand Cru--Vintage 2001
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Bottle numbers 1499, 1500 & 1501. Excellent appearance. In Christie's carton
Tasting Note: The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's policy of late harvests for their Montrachet leads to forward, expressive wines with boisterously flavourful personalities. The 2001 was picked at 14 natural potential alcohol and reveals some hints of botrytis. Buttered toast, hazelnuts, and smoky spices are found in its aromatic profile. This plush, intense wine admirably combines muscular power with elegance. Light to medium-bodied, it is a fresh, delineated, spice-laden effort that is packed with pears and minerals. Drink it over the next 9-10 years. Wine Advocate 147, June 2003
