The Story

The Montrachet family consists of grand five Grands Crus grown in the two villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. These two share the Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet appellations. Chevalier and Bienvenues belong to Puligny, Criots belongs to Chassagne. These Grands Crus are the most southerly of the Côte-d'Or, and lie between Meursault in the north and Santenay in the south. Their origins go back to the Middle Ages - the work...

Written Notes

“Next up was a bottle of 1973 Domaine de la Romanée Conti Montrachet. The fill was a little low and the color on the deeper/golder side, but at 1100 Euros, I couldn’t resist. The bottle delivered a great experience, even greater than the technically’ better bottle at this year’s DRC Montrachet vertical back in May. This was full of honey and that classic DRC botrytis edge. The wine was regally rich and deliciously decadent with some wheaty goodness. It dried a bit in the glass, but it was still deli- cious from this great vintage for white Burgs. It was fully mature with some corn kisses on its finish. The Surgeon thought there was still meat on the bones’ and JoJo tast- ed nuts...like an old DP’.”(96pts JK)

This is the legend. Right out of the glass you know it's a perfect wine. Almonds, dried apricots, apple pie, and lemon lime. Full and really rich with an oily character, it’s long and velvety with amazing thickness and richness. Yet it’s agile, creamy and toasty. It seems to get more agile and lively with air. I left it at least three hours in the glass and it was even fresher. This is structured like a red, yet so fresh and together. I am not sure what more to say other than the legend lives.
