Domaine de la Romanee-Conti are considered by many to be the finest producer of wine in the world. Their vineyards are concentrated around the village of Vosne-Romanee & include some of the most sought after Grand Crus in Burgundy. 2009 is considered by many to be one of the finest vintages for Red Burgundy of the 2000s, held in similar regard to the much-lauded 2002 & 2005 vintage.

Good deep red. Sexy, high-toned perfume of liqueur-like red berries, orange zest, minerals and truffle. Penetrating, savory and intense, delivering an exhilarating combination of creamy texture and energy. Wonderfully rich flavors of strawberry, raspberry, smoke and minerals complicated by chocolate and wild herbs. Firmly structured, very long wine with tannins fully enrobed by fruit. A strong first release for this wine, which is made from 2.4 hectares of vines in the grand crus Corton Renardes, Bressandes and Clos du Roi, which DRC leased in late 2008 from the Domaine Prince Florent de Merode. Incidentally, I can't recall the last time I began a Burgundy cellar visit with a grand cru.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2012
