PROPERTY OF A LOS ANGELES INSIDER AND FRIEND OF CHRISTIE'S
Bought on release and placed in temperature and humidity controlled professional wine storage and moved only for this sale, this selection of Montrachet is part of a much larger collection sold over several sales. Charles Curtis, MW had dinner with one of the purchasers of the last selection of Montrachet from this consignor, and found the 1990 Ramonet Bâtard "shockingly fresh," and the 1989 "massive and powerful." For lovers of Montrachet, this is a rare opportunity to pick up pristinely stored white wines. The gem of this collection being, of course, the 1989 DRC.
Montrachet--Vintage 1989
Côte de Beaune, Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Lot 633 level: 4.0cm; very slight sign of old seepage, lightly scuffed label, magnum #34
Lot 634 levels: three 1.5cm, one 2.0cm; one very slightly depressed cork, one heavily bin soiled label, bottles #384-386, 388
"An impact of rich, waxy, spicy, vanilla and, within minutes, the scent of freshly ground coffee; touch of ripe sweetness, carrying its weight effortlessly, with fragrance and lovely acidity. Last tasted October 1990. *****" MB, Vintage Wine.
