Estimate
...with the telltale iron-like scent, cinnamon, and gout de terroir that, for me, make it the most unique wine of the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti stable...
...Splendid balance. This is very classy. Fullish, rich, concentrated, a touch of oak, a lot of very youthful intense fruit. No undue element of the stems. Still very young. Very good acidity. Needs time. Marvellous finish...
Quite complex and classically, even brilliantly, spicy on both the nose and the palate but the beginning of what is likely to be a graceful decline is in sight. While this is indeed still wonderfully tasty and lovely as the flavors display.
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.
