TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

Richly aromatic but not overripe, this is still expressive but a bit more elegant than when I tasted out of barrel. It offers ripe apple and pear with hints of hazelnut and spice, balanced by a citrus edge and enough freshness on the palate to bring everything back into focus. The 3ha holding is divided into four parcels, each vinified and aged separately in large and small barrels to capture the freshness, giving the wine vibrancy that bodes well for the future. Drink 2030-2045. 97 points Charles Curtis MW, Decanter

A lovely fresh golden yellow. Huge intensity but very primary. Though the riper yellow fruits are up front, one senses much more mineral core and some concentrated white orchard fruit wanting to come out. Just a little reductive note, layers of fruit on the palate and impressive length. Some melon. The Corton-Charlemagne has not quite finished its sugar which explains the roundness of the style to some extent. Drink 2029-2038. 97 points Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy

Producer

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, often abbreviated as DRC, is widely considered to be one of the most renowned wine producers in the world, and undoubtedly the best in the Burgundy region. This esteemed estate is responsible for crafting seven exceptional wines, including a single white made from Chardonnay grapes, and six reds made from Pinot Noir grapes, all sourced from the highest ranking Grand Cru vineyards in Burgundy. The history of this vineyard dates back to the early 1500s when it was cultivated by monks. Over time, ownership of the vineyard changed hands several times, eventually falling into the possession of the de Villaine family. In 1911, Edmund de Villaine took over as director of the estate and later sold shares to his friend Henry Leroy. The latter's financial stability ensured the estate's vineyards were maintained to the highest standards. Presently, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is co-owned and operated by Aubert de Villaine, and Henri Roch, the grandson of Henry Leroy. All of the vineyards are farmed organically, and some even meet biodynamic standards. The yields from these vineyards are incredibly low, with it taking an average of three vines to produce a single bottle of wine. In the winery, the wine is moved using gravity to avoid the need for pumping, and no filtration takes place. Fining only occurs when necessary, and the wine is aged in 100% new French oak for up to 20 months before bottling.
