Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate July - 1998
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Very deep colour for a ten year old Burgundy. Noticeable oak on the nose, well-defined and very fresh. The palate has superb definition, refined and elegant though not powerful. Pure, blackberry and blueberry fruit. Wonderful poise. Very feminine. It will need a decade's worth of ageing yet.

Healthy bright rusty colour. Very light but mellow nose. It has some depth and lots of development. Fine tannins in abundance but not uncomfortably so. A good 1988. Lightly chewy and lots to get your teeth into. Could be very appealing with food. Lots there. Chestnuts.

The perfumed nose has now gone almost completely secondary with hints of sous-bois adding nuance to the classic spice box character of a fine RSV. I particularly like the purity of expression (yet no lack of power) which combined with the outstanding length make this an excellent effort that should continue to hold at this level for a number of years. Consistent notes.

Domaine Romanée Conti

Acquired by the Prince of Conti in 1760, this 1.85-hectare vineyard produces barely more than 6000 bottles per year of a mythical and exceptional wine. After the French Revolution, the Domaine was declared national property, and Romanée Conti had numerous owners, notably the Duvault-Blochet family, who acquired several other parcels including La Tâche, Richebourg, and Echézeaux. Today, each bottle of Romanée Conti bears the dual signature of Aubert de Villaine and Henry-Frédéric Roch. Romanée Conti was the last vineyard plot in Burgundy to resist phylloxera, but during World War II, the lack of carbon disulfide led to its destruction in 1945. For five years, from 1946 to 1951, no vintage was produced. The winemaking and aging conditions (maximum fruit maturity, very high selectivity, maximum precautions at each step, aging in new oak) allow for the production of an exceptional wine. Thus, aromas of magnificent complexity evoking rose, violet, spices, truffle, and leather are found in this sumptuous wine. Everything at Domaine Romanée Conti is implemented to produce only great wines for aging. Biodynamics has taken on a different role over the past decade under the new leadership of Henry Frédéric-Roch, one of the two co-managers of Domaine Romanée Conti along with Aubert de Villaine. All the appellations offered are at the pinnacle of elegance and depth. The owner of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, one of the most renowned vineyards in the world, was elected Decanter Man of The Year 2010 by the eponymous specialized journal. It's a small revolution in the hierarchy of lucky winners as Aubert de Villaine is the first Burgundy wine producer to receive this award since its creation. Modest, it seems he initially refused his award, before reconsidering and finally accepting it. Co-owner of the family estate of Romanée-Conti with the Leroy family, Aubert de Villaine long hesitated before following in his father's footsteps. After studying law and literature, he flew to New York and began his career by importing Burgundy wines. Passionate about wine, he also took up journalism and interviewed, among others, Robert Mondavi in 1966. It was during this period that his father called him to his side. He started as an apprentice at the estate. Since then, he has never ceased to put his dedication, passion, and exacting standards at the service of Romanée-Conti, which continues to produce the greatest red wines in the world.
