Domaine de la Romanée-ContiMontrachet 2007
About this product
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet quite comfortably is regarded as one of the world's finest Chardonnays, if not the very best. 100% Chardonnay grown on the Chassagne side of the vineyard, this 0.67 hectare vineyard is always one of the latest to be picked to gain that opulence and full-bodied character Romanée-Conti is famous for. Even with such late picking, the acidity levels in this spectacular wine is always a dominant characteristic. If lucky enough to walk through the vineyard soon after harvest, you can be fortunate enough to try a few berries that have a remarkable flavours of spice and pepper. Characters almost impossible to find outside of Montrachet. Truly remarkable and worth searching for.

As the late picking date would suggest, this is a very ripe and wonderfully nuanced wine with a brilliantly complex nose of white peach, pear, exotic yellow fruits, acacia blossom and citrus hints that complement perfectly the rich and monumentally constructed flavors that possess an almost chewy texture yet the mouth feel is one of satin and silk, all wrapped in a palate staining mildly toasty finish that displays impeccable balance and incredible length. To call this a knockout seems almost like faint praise but it is one genuinely stunning wine that should live for 30 to 40 years.
