Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti Grand Cru 2012 1.5 kg

€29.20000
Tax included, shipping and discounts calculated at checkout.

Romanee-Conti Grand Cru 2012 is considered one of the scarcest vintages of recent decades. The season in Burgundy was accompanied by frost, hail and extremely low yields, so that the volume of production was minimal even by the estate's standards. Many collectors call 2012 one of the most concentrated and deepest modern vintages of Romanee-Conti. The wine is produced from the legendary monopole vineyard of about 1.8 hectares in the commune of Vosne-Romanee, owned entirely by Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.

Usually, choosing between La Tâche and Romanée-Conti is like choosing between your two favourite children. Not this year. The 2012 Romanée-Conti is one of the most spellbinding that I have tasted since I began 17 years ago. The bouquet is quite astonishing with brilliant delineation and focus, an almost disorientating sense of mineralité that soars from the glass and leaves you speechless. The palate is perfectly proportioned with a sensational line of acidity, brimming over with energy and frisson. This flirts with perfection and you know, one day it might actually achieve it. Just 350 cases produced. Published: Feb 28, 2015
