Montrachet--Vintage 1989
Côte de Beaune, Ramonet
Scuffed label
"The 1989 Montrachet (of which there are 2 barrels from 70-year old vines) attained a natural alcohol level of 14.8 So much for those oenologist's wines made within safe technical parameters! I realize few readers will ever get a chance to taste this wine, but as you can imagine, it boasts unbelievable concentration and viscosity. It is not as thick and unctuous as the Montrachet made by the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, but it does possess exquisite balance and length. All things considered, I would wait 10 years before popping the cork. It will drink well for at least the first two decades of the next century." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #79 (Feb 1992)
