Montrachet 2018 Domaine de la Romanee Conti

Professionele reviews

Burghound (97)

Discreet wood is present on the exuberantly spicy and markedly exotic nose of passion fruit, dried peach, apricot, fennel, jasmine tea and hints of clove. The incredibly rich broad-shouldered flavors coat the palate with an abundance of dry extract that imparts a thick and textured, indeed almost chewy, character to the lavish and generous finish that is at once fantastically powerful yet impeccably well-balanced, compact and youthfully austere finale that just goes on and on. In the context of the last 5 vintages, this is not the most concentrated of them for the Domaine's Montrachet, but the length is genuinely dazzling as is the upside develop potential.
