Description
Romanée Conti 2011
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru
Consecutive bottle numbers, case banded until inspection; Numéros de bouteilles consécutifs, caisse cerclée jusqu'à l'inspection
26.8 hl/ha. Average age of vines: 56 years. Total production: 473 cases. In 2014, this has an extra note of pure breed on the nose. A touch of pomegranate and peppermint. Extreme silkiness and style all through. So juicy too and with sweetness at the end. There is such clarity and beauty that it is tempting to drink this young! Serena Sutcliffe, MW
