The 2022 vintage for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Montrachet Grand Cru is heralded as an "excellent" and "generous and promising" year for Burgundy, following several vintages with lower yields. This year delivered an 【unprecedented combination of extraordinarily high quality and quantity】. DRC's co-director noted the vintage's "concentration, lusciousness, ripeness without heaviness, [and] a clear terroir imprint".
This Montrachet is a powerful, broad-shouldered wine, exuding richness and amplitude. It presents pronounced aromas of quince, apricot, and ripe pear, beautifully accented with notes of wood spice, fresh-cut flowers, and a firm minerality. The dense, concentrated texture is currently impenetrable, yet balanced by sufficient acidity. Producer tasting notes describe it as possessing "unequaled complexity, its elegance and power make it an exceptional wine!". Further nuances include ripe orchard fruit, warm pastry, confit citrus, subtle toast tones, orange marmalade, marzipan, white pepper, tangerine oil, and a hint of French oak.
This exceptional wine is truly "for the ages," requiring at least 20 years before opening and potentially delivering pleasure for a century. It is perfectly suited for grand celebrations, exquisite fine dining, or as a cornerstone addition to a serious collector's cellar.
Food pairing suggestions include Chicken and Turkey.
