A RARE CASE OF MONTRACHET 1973 FROM DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI
THIS CASE HAS BEEN STORED INTO PROFESSIONAL STORAGE SINCE REMOVED FROM THE DOMAINE TWO YEARS AGO
Le Montrachet Grand Cru--Vintage 1973
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
In original wooden case. Bin-soiled, stained and slightly torn labels. Levels: seven at 3cms, four at 3.5cms and one at 4.5cms below base of corks
Tasting note: A dinner with good friends included one of the most remarkable white wines I have ever tasted, a pristine, still youthful and fresh bottle of 1973 DRC Montrachet. Still possessing wonderful acidity, magnificent flavor concentration, and a light gold color, this wine (which came from a top-notch vintage for white rather than red Burgundy) has aged marvelously well. Seemingly younger than many more recent vintages, this bottle came from a cold, private cellar. It was packaged in the old, deep green-colored bottle that the DRC changed a few years later. Prior to that wine, we enjoyed a beautiful bottle of 1990 J. L. Chave white Hermitage, which was showing plenty of marzipan, hazelnut, and honey. As outstanding as it was, it was blown away by the exquisite Montrachet. Rated 100 points. Robert Parker, Hedonist's Gazette, February 2007
