When considering which Burgundy cru is the greatest for white wine, Montrachet stands above all others in terms of quality, complexity and longevity. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s holdings consist of three parcels in the Le Montrachet lieu-dit in Chassagne-Montrachet, totalling just 0.68 hectares surface area with vines that are, on average, 50 years of age. Of the eight grand cru wines that DRC makes, this has the smallest production and is, therefore, often the rarest bottling.
In 2019, Antonio Galloni (Vinous Media) described the 1998 as having “a rich fabric of aromas, flavours and textures” that made it “absolutely compelling.”

This is a fabulous bottle of the 1998 Montrachet, the best I have ever had. Tropical and exotic in the glass, with striking layers of nuance, the 1998 is super-expressive on this night. Honey, tangerine oil and spice add character to the vivid, textured finish. A rich fabric of aromas, flavors and textures makes the 1998 absolutely compelling. Tasted at the DRC Montrachet charity event in New York. Antonio Galloni1st June 2019
