Romanée Conti 2001 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (1 JM30)

Romanée Conti 2001  

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti  

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru 

Excellent level and appearance, straw-wrapped, case banded until inspection; Excellent niveau et apparence, emballé avec de la paille, caisse cerclée d'origine jusqu'à l'inspection 

At first, a slightly reticent, tremendously breedy Romanée-Conti nose. Then, as it meets the air, high octane wild strawberries nose of utter purity. The scent permeates the whole taste. Amazing flavour of sugared fraises de bois which explodes onto the palate. Such finesse of texture. Loganberries. Tremendous health. This is wine like no other - it knows no rivals. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

1 jero - 3 litres (owc) 

An outstanding collection of wines from Domaine de La Romanée-Conti featuring banded OWCs, bottles, magnums, Jeroboams, and agonisingly rare Methuselahs spanning 1990 through to 2011. All the wines were acquired on release directly from the Domaine and were cellared in professional temperature-controlled storage until removed for this auction. The consignor generously granted Sotheby’s privileged access to all his cellar records, allowing our specialists to reconcile the entire collection against original invoices, cementing a transparent and traceable line of provenance. The flawless condition of these bottles is a supreme testament to the consignor’s careful stewardship, maturing these legendary wines to complete perfection.
