Montrachet 2005 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (1 BT)

Montrachet 2005

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Côte de Beaune, Grand Cru

Tasted at the Domaine in 2012, it starts with grapefruit on the nose which carries all through. Rich and already totally present, with lovely acidity to balance this, both the product of the vintage and the vineyard as Montrachet can be harvested later while keeping its intrinsic acidity. So much volume and 'matter' in this wine. The empty glass (!) delivers intoxicating scents of nutmeg. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
