2022 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Montrachet Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 96

The 2022 Montrachet Grand Cru is quite powerful and explosive in the glass. Orange marmalade, marzipan, white pepper, tangerine oil and a kiss of French oak fill out the layers. Readers who can find the 2022 will want to grab it, as production will fall sharply for the foreseeable future now that one-third of the vineyard has been torn out in preparation for replanting in a few years’ time. From there, it is likely that fruit from the replanted section will not go into the Montrachet bottling for at least several years. [Antonio Galloni, 25/03/2025]
