99 Robert Parker
Not surprisingly, this is another awesome example from the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. If pure, honeyed thickness and glycerin are what you are looking for, there is not a more concentrated Chardonnay produced in the world. The only thing I have ever seen from the new world that approaches a wine such as this in nectar-like richness were the 1978 and 1980 Chalone, but that winery has now resorted to making much lighter, more commercially-oriented products. There is nothing commercial about this 1989 Montrachet. If you have $500 to spend, here is a bottle that will offer an awesome nose of honeyed, buttery, apple fruit, intertwined with aromas of smoked nuts and toasty new oak. In the mouth, it is almost greasy because of its extraordinary viscosity, thickness, and richness. The finish is explosive, and while the alcohol must be over 14.5%, it cannot be detected because of the wine's phenomenal concentration. This wine may merit a perfect score in 5-10 years, but currently, it is slightly less ethereal than the 1986 was at a similar period in its evolution.

A powerful, graceful, supple and elegant Burgundy. This cascades its sweet, honeyed, spicy pear and green apple flavors over a silky, beautifully-crafted frame. The finish lingers forever. Sensational already, but try to wait until 1999 or 2000.--Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet vertical. –HS

Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Dies ist nicht nur die ikonischste Domaine in Burgund, sondern womöglich in ganz Frankreich und auf der ganzen Welt. Mit einem Monopol der beiden größten Weinberge Romanée-Conti und La Tâche, und einer guten Handvoll weiterer in Vosne-Romanée und darüber hinaus, konnte sie sich, bei aller Diskretion und Bescheidenheit, ihren ruhmreichen Status sichern. Sie befindet sich in Gemeinschaftseigentum der beiden Familien Villaine und Leroy-Roch, mit Aubert de Villaine als Geschätsführer seit 1974. Ihre Wurzeln reichen jedoch bis ins 13. Jahrhundert, als die Mönche von Saint-Vivant die ersten Reben setzten. Seit den 1980er-Jahren erfolgt die Bewirtschaftung ökologisch, und seit den 1990ern biodynamisch. Dies ist zweifellos auch die berühmteste Domaine der Region, die die ganzen Trauben fermentiert (und dies schon immer getan hat), ein etabliertes Verfahren, das Henri Jayer vermied, in den letzten Jahren aber viele andere Erzeuger inspiriert hat. Allen Meadows, der vielleicht versierteste Burgunder-Experte und -Kritiker auf der Welt, hat nur einem einzigen Wein jemals die perfekte Bewertung zugestanden – dem 1945er Romanée-Conti.
