Estimate
...unusually powerful and structured. Huge, searing tannins and super-expressive, bright acidity both are a prominent today...A huge finish totally drenched with saline notes is breathtaking...
The palate is rounded, almost curvaceous in the mouth...a sense of authority and purpose, a bit of daring-do on the long finish. It leaves a slightly ferrous residue on the aftertaste, completing what is a marvelous and sensual Grand Cru.
...an ultra-refined mouth feel to the equally pure, intense, detailed and lilting medium-bodied flavors that appear to possess a bit more volume than usual before culminating in a penetrating and intense finish...
Wonderfully silky, broad and dry; in a distinctly feminine style, showing lovely defintion and inner-mouth perfume to the flavors of red fruits, savory underbrush and flowers.
Very subtle. Great fan of flavours – very exciting, perhaps more obviously Vosne than the richness of the Richebourg. Lovely stuff. Refined and qute discreet. Very neat. Great balance.
Domaine Marey Monge farmed out the Romanee St. Vivant vineyard to Domaine De La Romanee-Conti starting in 1966. In 1988 Domaine De La Romanee-Conti bought Domaine Marey Monge.
