Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 1990
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The Richebourg was an explosive wine with an earthy, cinnamon, gingery, soy sauce aroma backed up with the intense smell of plums and toasty new oak. Extremely rich, full bodied, and awesomely proportioned, this heroic wine should be drunk from the late nineties through the first two decades of the twenty-first century. It seems bigger, fuller, and more powerful than even the celestial 1985.

Mature aromas of jam, spice and violets lead to amazingly powerful yet velvety medium-bodied flavours that are supported by firm but softening tannins which the extract buffers on the delicious, long and mouth-coating if ever-so-slightly warm finish. This mildly rustic effort has reached full maturity. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes save for one oxidised bottle.

Lavishly powerful fruit of spices, jam and violets with distinct Pinot extract lead to surprisingly powerful yet velvety aromas. There are plenty of tannins, but the extract more than buffers them. Huge, rich and long from start to finish, this is still a baby. In fact, there is so much extract and it is so youthful that this should continue to develop for several more years.

Domaine Romanée Conti

The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is one of the most iconic wine estates in Burgundy and an absolute benchmark among the great wines of the world. Its history is intimately bound to the greatest climats of Vosne-Romanée, of which it is the exclusive or near-exclusive custodian. The estate cultivates a number of exceptional grand crus, among them Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Grands Échézeaux, Échézeaux, as well as the celebrated Montrachet for its white wines.

La Romanée-Conti, a Grand Cru classified climat, forms the historical and symbolic heart of the estate. In the estate's ownership since the 18th century, this monopole vineyard embodies a demanding vision of wine, founded on precision, faithfulness to the terroir, and an exceptionally rigorous approach to viticulture. The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is renowned for its constant pursuit of balance and purity of expression, favouring very low yields and meticulous work in the vineyard.

Iconic vintages such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 1942, the 1945 wine, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 1986, the 1990 vintage, the year 2000, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2005, Romanée-Conti 2011, illustrate the estate's capacity to produce wines of remarkable depth, capable of spanning decades while retaining an exceptional clarity of origin. The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti thus remains an essential reference for understanding the excellence and singularity of the great wines of Burgundy.
