MONTRACHET
Know as the finest producer and the finest white wine vineyard in the world, DRC's Montrachet is without peer. Made in miniscule quantities (approximately 250 cases from holdings of only 0.67hc), DRC's Montrachet is a rarity indeed. The most amazing thing about DRC's Montrachet (indeed all of their wines) is that even in off vintages in performs. Your humble correspondent had the opportunity to taste a bottle of DRC Montrachet from the much-maligned 1987 vintage (Robert Parker gave it a 79!) and the bottle was showing beyond what one might expect from the vintage. On offer here are wines from '86 and '84-not heralded as "vintages of the century" but in the hands of the right producers, amazing wines were made.
Montrachet--Vintage 1986
Côte de Beaune, Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Level: 2.5cm; corroded capsule, signs of old seepage, very lightly bin soiled label
"Palish; scent of toasted coconut, opening up beautiful; mouthfilling." Saintsbury Club Dinner, Oct 1997, MB, Vintage Wine
