Montrachet 2001 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Montrachet 2001 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Cote de Beaune, Grand Cru Bottle #658 Nutty, lanolin nose. Oh, but the taste - absolutely huge, fat, rich, mind-blowing. Sweet greengages - explosive orange zests, allspice and ginger. Gingerbread finish with a final lime sign-off. Tasted again in 2009 at a wonderful dinner in Athens and as superb, and now as ready, as ever. SS. Lot 6283 1 bt (cn) per lot: HKD 20000-28000 per lot: USD 2500-3500 0.67ha(1.65 acres), average production 250 cases, average age of vines 61 years First produced by the Domaine in 1964, but the first vintage to be released was 1965. Partially based on soil analysis by the agronomist Claude Bourguignon, the Domaine has reintroduced ploughing both Le Montrachet and Romanee-Conti with horses. The Domaine believes compacting the soil with heavy tractors can lead to less microbial activity and therefore damage to this unique terroir. This small holding in the famed vineyard produces an average of only 250 cases of this extraordinarily powerful and complex wine which is keenly sought after by collectors and creates an atmosphere of excitement whenever it appears at auction. SS. The Domaine, as it is known, is iconic. Much more important, it also produces the most extraordinary wines in Burgundy - and it has been doing so for some time. The generations responsible for the Domaine change, but the terroir remains. And these are very special vineyard parcels indeed, married to meticulous care and philosophy leading to low yields and healthy, ripe grapes, at whatever cost. During the 1990s, vineyard policy has been organic, with co-owner Aubert de Villaine monitoring everything with his usual attention to detail. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti wines evolve and develop dimensions in a way that resembles a mosaic - points of bouquet and flavour making up a harmonious whole that becomes more beautiful as it unfolds in the glass. Yes, these are hedonistic wines and, yes, they are not like any other. The trick is in capturing what these remarkable plots of vines can give and letting them express themselves through minimum intervention and enlightened nurturing. SS. Quantity: 1
