Critic tasting note: (2004 vintage) “The Montrachet from Domaine de la Romanée Conti is perhaps the most obvious among all the great Montrachet producers because it is exactly what you would expect. And perhaps it is in a way the most ‘industrial’ in regard to the number of bottles made, relative to overall production. But this only means that it is the easier to find, all you need is a big enough bank account and sooner or later a bottle will come your way. Montrachet DRC is controlled excess. It is structurally excessive beginning with its bold, rich, luminous and concentrated golden-yellow color. And this all foresees a texture that is sumptuous, abundant, rich and unbridled. This classic vintage today expresses itself magnificently and has a consistency unusual for a white wine, thanks also to being the right age. What is even more incredible is its flavor and the amazing way it hyper-stimulates your taste buds. The outstanding freshness is almost disguised by the abundant sweetness that makes the impact of the mouthfeel velvety, majestic and solemn. The wine’s capacity to saturate with pleasure is off the charts, as is the persistence both in the glass and mouth. Bold yet balanced.” – Doctorwine
