Romanee-Conti 2016 is considered one of the greatest modern vintages and is often compared with the legendary 2015, while in the opinion of a number of critics it even surpasses it thanks to its greater precision and energy. The vintage is distinguished by a rare combination of concentration, depth and «weightless» intensity. Many commentators called 2016 an outstanding year for Domaine de la Romanee-Conti thanks to an almost perfect balance between power and refinement.

Compatibility

Thanks to its deep structure and high concentration, it shows especially well alongside complex yet elegant gastronomic combinations. It is ideal with pheasant, quail, duck and rack of lamb. It also pairs magnificently with porcini ravioli, soft cheeses with truffle and aged Comte.
Color

Elegant ruby colour with a garnet hue and characteristic transparency.
Scent

The deep, multi-layered bouquet unfolds with shades of wild berries, ripe cherry, violet, peony and rose petals. As it develops in the glass, notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, spices and a fine minerality appear.
Taste

Full-bodied, ample and silky on the palate, with outstanding concentration and no sense of heaviness. The wine has bright, perfectly integrated acidity and elegant tannins. The palate is dominated by shades of dark and red berries, spices, dried flowers, cocoa and mineral nuances. The finish is very long, broad and energetic, with a fine noble bitterness at the close.

100/100

Robert Parker

The 2016 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is a worthy successor to the profound 2015, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, violets, peony, dark chocolate, cinnamon and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and satiny, with an ineffable sense of completeness, searing concentration without weight, a vibrant, indeed animating line of acidity, and a long, expansive finish that concludes with a judicious touch of mouthwatering bitterness. Wines like this are the foundation of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's reputation.
