Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Montrachet 2009

My first Montrachet from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. Expectations were very high allthough I’m not at huge fan of the 2009 vintage. I must say that I was truly impressed by this Montrachet … tasted side by side with the otherwise outstanding Montrachet 2009 from Lafon. The nose offer expressive yellow orchard fruits – white peach, mango and pineapple – slight hints of honey and hazelnuts supported by a intense minerality. On the palate very rich and intense, but very well balanced by a fine acitidty for the vintage. It offers tremendous depth and length – overshadowing the Lafon. A mighty Montrachet … power and refinement combined.
