RATINGS

...rich, lush, almost opulent flavors that melt in the mouth and coat the palate with a layer of velvet on the fantastically long finish. This is a dramatic wine in every sense of the word...

98Robert M. Parker Jr.

..nose offers up sweet, clove, cinnamon & blackberry aromas intermingled with toasty, smoky new oak. Lavishly rich and full-bodied, with abundant tannins,this profound, surprisingly large-scaled, tannic wine boasts more muscle than usual.

95Vinous / IWC

Another wine with extraordinary aromatic presence, the 1990 Romanée-Conti is just beginning to enter the peak of its maturity and also quite feminine in its personality...constantly changes in the glass, inviting a second taste...

19Jancis Robinson

Very lively. Neat and almost dauntingly well-etched and defined at present.

93Wine Spectator

Densely packed, with earthy, tarry and spicy overtones running through the powerful plum, currant and berry flavors...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Vosne-Romanee, Romanee-Conti

Romanee-Conti is the most famous vineyard in the world, and certainly the most celebrated in Burgundy. It is a 4.32-acre Grand Cru parcel owned exclusively by Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. The Grand Cru pinot noir produced from the vineyard is one of the world’s most acclaimed wines. Romanee-Conti is a square-shaped plot enclosed on three sides by a stone wall. It is about half way up the slope with an elevation between 260 and 275 meters. The gentle incline makes for nearly perfect drainage and the vineyard receives sun all day. The soil is a sand, clay and limestone mixture.

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.
