Note di degustazione
Romanée-Conti is, as ever, a unique expression of the vineyard. It is both more approachable and more powerful than La Tâche. There is a similar deep colour, but in place of restraint, there are pretty floral notes on the initial attack, followed by a seductive black cherry and mulberry fruit underscored with saline minerality. On the palate, impressive concentration is coupled with a supple, fine-grained texture and enough tannin to age the wine seemingly for several lifetimes. Bertrand de Villaine said the wine can be summed up in three words: 'It's. All. There.'

The 2017 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is dense, ample and also ethereal, as only it can be. Once again, Romanée-Conti elicits thoughts of art forms like cubist paintings or jazz, where themes are implied but never expressly stated. Above all else Romanée-Conti is a Burgundy that engages all the senses. You want answers, but all you get back is more questions. The 2017 is powerful and quite closed initially, yet with some aeration hints of black cherry, lavender and exotic spice start to appear. A closing rush of baritone inflections give it a real sense of gravitas. It’s a shame very few people will ever be able to taste it. Harvest took place on the morning of September 8.
