Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru
Excellent level and appearance, case banded until inspection; Excellent niveau et apparence, caisse cerclée jusqu'à l'inspection
In 2013, a nose that is so fresh, so vibrant and so full of plummy fruit. Such stunning redcurrants on the palate - it blooms in the way of the very best 2000s, a vintage I love at the top end of Burgundy because it is so welcoming and expressive. There is a crispness to this which is so appetising.
