Description
Romanée Conti 2009
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru
Initially, less exuberant on the nose than La Tâche but then the subtlety of all the scents pours in, blueberries and flowers. A 'lightness of being' on the palate in terms of refinement and finesse. Such sweet persistence, all lace and silk while La Tâche is damask. A great compote of black fruit with an ethereal finish. One floats away on a cloud..... Serena Sutcliffe, MW

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.
