(4-2007) 1969 was generally an excellent vintage in Burgundy and whilst many wines have begun to tire in the last few years, it has stayed the course reasonably well. Unfortunately, the DRC '69s, whilst still pretty, are not amongst the vintage's best even if they are wines of obvious quality. Completely bricked through. Easily the best part of the '69 RC is the nose with its soaring aromas of sous bois, caramel, brown sugar, a lovely range of spice nuances and animale undertones that give way to sweet, round and detailed middle weight flavours that reveal perhaps a bit more minerality than usual whilst culminating in a still focussed and equally sweet finish of solid if not sensational length. The structure is almost completely resolved and I would be drinking this now and over the next decade but probably not longer than that as the wine risks cracking up. In sum, a perfectly good wine but not a standout for the vintage or for 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.
