1996 - A large crop of principally ripe and healthy fruit. Rich, alcoholic wines but with good acidity that will ensure ageing
Montrachet--Vintage 1996
Côte de Beaune, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
"Possessing a harnessed, supertightly wound nose of sweet fruit and steely components, the 1995 Montrachet is a compelling wine. Its powerful racy mouth, jam-packed with dense underlying fruit and minerals, is just waiting to explode to the surface. Lardière's touch can be seen in the brilliant use of oak, which provides a gorgeous spiciness to the wine. Full-bodied, complex, intense, and long, this wine needs 7-9 years to blossom; it will age effortlessly for 20 years. At this point the wine is like a thoroughbred caged in at the starting gates, waiting impatiently for the race to begin, its muscles trembling in anticipation of what is to come."
