When considering which Burgundy cru is the greatest for white wine, Montrachet stands alone 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. The 2006 vintage is sensationally rich, with refreshing acidity and enchanting notes of ginger and orange spice.

Vinous
The 2006 Montrachet Grand Cru absolutely delivers on lofty expectations. Astonishing delineation and precision on the nose, this is vivid aromatically, crushed stone and sea spray bursting from the glass. It can barely contain its intensity. The palate is incredibly precise, taut and powerful, building towards its peacock's tail on the finish that leaves residues of crustacea and wild mint on the aftertaste. Heavenly. Tasted at the La Paulée in Beaune. Neal Martin1st March 2023
