Reviews 98 points Wine Advocate "The 2008 is rich, seductive and powerful, but never heavy. Finely chiseled mineral nuances saturate the palate all the way through to the intensely saline finish. When I think of what I want Montrachet to be, it is this. The 2008 Montrachet is an aspirational wine in the very best sense. (AG)" 98 points Vinous "The 2008 Montrachet from Domaine de la Romanee-Conti ranks amongst not only the best vintages that I have tasted from the domaine, but possibly the greatest white Burgundy I have ever tasted. The nose is breathtaking in terms of its precision and mineralite. There are not overt, easily definable aromas in situ, more an articulation of the vineyard that translates every single atom where it came from. The palate is bewitching in terms of its perfect bead of acidity, laser-like focus and the vein of salinite that leaves you begging for more. This is close to perfection. Tasted at the mature white Burgundy dinner in Hong Kong. (NM)"

About Domaine de la Romanee-Conti
Of all the wine estates on the planet, Vosne-Romanée’s celebrated Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is arguably the greatest. Co-managed by winemaking icon Aubert de Villaine, “DRC” as it’s commonly known, is the undisputed crown jewel of Burgundy—if not of France—known for its 28 hectares of grand cru vineyards and its incredibly age-worthy cuvees—highly coveted trophies of any great collector.
As an early pioneer of biodynamic farming, DRC set itself apart from the pack, creating an ideal ecosystem in the vineyards and lifting the quality standards of these famous appellations to even greater heights. The team plows regularly, aims for low yields, and practices séléction massale, bringing seemingly newfound quality with every vintage. As a result, the work in the cellar is less involved and very traditional. Aubert and the team employ native yeast fermentations and gentle extractions and age all of the wines exclusively in new oak barrels. Cerebral, expressive, and otherworldly, the wines of DRC are some of the rarest and most highly coveted in the world.
