Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate January - 1990
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The spectacular Richebourg has a stunning nose, is more full bodied and powerful than usual, very long, but also quite tannic. I tasted it twice. This is among the few superstars of this vintage, but the 1986 is not for drinking soon—patience is most definitely required.

Wine Spectator August - 1989
Wine Spectator
Very firm and deeply concentrated, but wrapped in enough tannin to need at least until 1995 to begin emerging from its shell. Already has great finesse and structure, echoing ripe cherry and sweet spices on the long but tannic finish.

Domaine Romanée Conti
Domaine Romanée Conti

Acquired by the Prince of Conti in 1760, this 1.85-hectare vineyard produces barely more than 6,000 bottles per year of a mythical and exceptional wine. After the French Revolution, the Domaine was declared national property, and Romanée Conti had many owners, notably the Duvault-Blochet family, who acquired several other plots 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 sulphide 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 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 world's most renowned vineyards, was elected Decanter Man of The Year 2010 by the eponymous specialist 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 changing his mind 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 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 high standards at the service of Romanée-Conti, which continues to produce the world's greatest red wines.
