Montrachet 2019 Domaine de la Romanee Conti

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (96)

The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru is a broad, dramatic wine, bursting with aromas of honeyed pears, orange oil, buttered toast, fresh mint, peaches and even tropical fruits. Full-bodied, thick and unctuous, it's ripe and textural, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and a long, expansive finish. Readers might want to think of this powerful, broad-shouldered wine as a modern-day version of the 1989.

The Montrachet was bottled earlier than the Corton-Charlemagne as it completed its various fermentations more quickly. A glowing pale lemon yellow colour. The nose is almost opaque but seems very successful after the 2018. All in white fruit, no evident oak. Now the weight and the nobility start to show. The 2019 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet displays a vast coating of succulent white fruit: we do have pears, we don’t have peaches, though there is just a touch of sunshine at the finish, a little touch of bacon fat. The acidity is beautifully integrated and this is spectacularly long. There is much more to be delivered later.
