Lot #236. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet 2006

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 AM.
". . . white flower, grapefruit, mildly exotic orchard fruit and subtle spice notes trimmed in just the right amount of wood that lead to beautifully textured, pure, intense and focused big-bodied flavors wrapped around a firm acid spine and culminating in a wonderfully racy, dry, linear and mineral-driven finish. This is one of the more elegant and sophisticated vintages for this wine (much more so than the 2005 though it's not as big, rich and dramatic) and it's likely to be more of a Montrachet of finesse rather than overt muscle. I quite like this because even though it's ripe, there is a very firm acid skeleton that should allow the '06 Montrachet to age for a very long time . . ." Burghound.com, Jul 01, 2009
Provenance: The Cîteaux Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $3,750
