Romanee-Conti, the tiny (1.81 ha) monopole at the heart of Vosne-Romanee, is Burgundy`s (and thus the world`s) most revered Pinot Noir. The 2011 vintage, from a cooler, more challenging year, delivers a precise, focused bouquet of crushed strawberry, flint and smoke. The palate is smooth with red berries and subtle earthiness, framed by lace-like tannins and perfectly judged acidity. Elegance rather than power defines this vintage, though it still has real ageing potential. Best from 2027, drinking well to 2035 and beyond. Only 5676 bottles made.

Bright, deep red. Reticent, musky nose opens slowly to reveal blackberry, violet, wild herbs and spicy oak; in a rather feminine style and a showstopper. Juicy and penetrating but at the same time silky and sweet, offering an ineffable combination of red and dark berries, spices, flowers and minerals. Conveys an impression of volume and thickness without any obvious weight. Dusty tannins saturate the palate and shimmer on the unflagging finish. The combination of silkiness and vibrancy here is uncanny.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2014

The 2011 Romanee-Conti was picked on 6 September at 26.83hl/ha. As usual, the Romanee-Conti is reticent at first, as if the wine is checking you out before deciding whether you are worthy. It then unfurls to reveal a precise, exquisitely focused bouquet with crushed strawberry, flint and smoke. The palate is devastatingly smooth on the entry. The tannins are lace-like, the acidity perfectly judged and it gently crescendos in the mouth towards a seductive poised finish that lingers incredibly long. This is a master-class in ‘less being more’: a consummate Romanee-Conti for mid- rather than long-term cellaring. 473 cases produced. Drink 2017-2035+. - Neal Martin
