RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

Mingling aromas of blackberries and raspberries with notions of exotic spices, orange rind, smoked duck and forest floor...full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with broad structural shoulders supplied by ripe, powdery tannins. Layered and muscular...remarkably seamless and integrated...concluding with a long, sapid finish.

96Vinous / IWC

...blackberry and raspberry, wild hedgerow and touches of bay leaf. Beautiful definition. The palate is medium-bodied with lace-like tannins, a beguiling sense of symmetry and poise... It fans out wonderfully towards the finish, velvety smooth with a judicious touch of spice lingering on the aftertaste.

18+ Jancis Robinson

...communicative and nuanced... High-toned with a suggestion of ripe elderberries. Beautifully textured with crisp crunchy fruit distracting from an impressive charge of tannins. Real crunch on the end...impressive length. Lovely balance and intrigue. Peacock’s tail of unfurling ripe treasures on the end.

PRODUCER

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is unquestionably Burgundy’s most famous estate, and among serious oenophiles, it may be the most famous wine estate in the world. Its Grand Cru Pinot Noirs and one Chardonnay regularly command some of the highest prices for any wine produced anywhere in the world, and according to many reviewers the wines are generally celestial. Though its history is complicated, the domaine is now owned by several long-time Burgundy families, with some owners holding just a very few shares. The 62.5 acres of vineyard owned by the domaine are planted to Pinot Noir and a small amount of Chardonnay. The wines produced are Grands Echezeaux, Echezeaux, Romanee-St.-Vivant, Montrachet, Richebourg, Romanee-Conti, and La Tache. Of the Pinot Noirs, the rarest is the Romanee-Conti, with an annual production of only 450 cases. The most plentiful, theoretically, is La Tache, produced in quantities of about 1,900 cases annually.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
