DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI MONTRACHET
The tiny Montrachet vineyard produces the world's greatest dry white wine, though fanatics argue as to why this is so. Some claim the ideal southeast exposure allows the Chardonnay grape the chance to achieve perfect ripeness. Other swear it is the unique terrior of a limestone foundation overlaid with drainage-friendly calcerious soils that lend "Mont Rachat", or translated "bald mountain", its telltale minerality. It is these reasons and a series of intangibles that together create the most opulent form of white Burgundy known as Montrachet.
Historically, Montrachet ranks among the world's most expensive dry white wines and Domaine de la Romanée Conti's tiny production under 300 cases per year ranks among the most precious. DRC's Montrachet parcel lies on the Chassagne side and measures out to be just under one hectare large. The Domaine's Montrachet has phenomenal richness and concentration with white flowers, green apples, honey, liquefied minerals and smoked nuts. Harnessing the wine's full explosiveness, DRC Montrachet combines definition and balance of flavour with an intense depth and everlasting length.
Offered below are incredibly rare large formats of this legendary wine. AC
Montrachet--Vintage 1990
Côte de Beaune, Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Bottle numbered 00006, domaine embossed wax capsule
"The 1990 Le Montrachet exhibits considerable opulence, as well as a tell-tale nose of coconut, buttered apples, and smoky, toasty new oak. Magnificently deep, expansive, and rich, with moderate acidity, it should prove to be a sensational DRC Le Montrachet. It is capable of lasting 15-20 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #89 (Oct 1993)
