de la Romanee-Conti, Richebourg 2008

de la Romanee-Conti

Case Format: 3x75cl

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or DRC as it is commonly known, is easily Burgundy’s best-known and most collectible wine producer. Based in the Burgundy village of Vosne-Romanée, the domaine sells wines from eight different grand cru vineyards that span the length of the Côte d’Or. The most famous comes from the eponymous Romanée-Conti vineyard, and on average is the most expensive wine in the world.

Neal Martin

The Richebourg (served before the Romanee St. Vivant) has a beautiful, lifted nose that is more floral than usual, certainly more harmonious and “assured” than the 2007 tasted last year. Subtle notes of mulberry, raspberry, a hint of pencil box and some flinty notes that emerge after five minutes in glass. It does not quite have the breeding of the Romanee Saint Vivant and there is a herbaceous element loitering off-wing. The palate is harmonious on the entry, an engaging spiciness at the side of the mouth, quite firm and compact. The finish has a brooding intensity to it, but could do with a little more persistency, it seems to strop away when you want it to stay (though that can enhance the intrigue.) It will be interesting to see how this develops, although I would not touch it for 5-6 years. Tasted January 2011.

At first the amazing array of plump fruit underneath struggled slightly to make its presence felt above a light oak note but eventually, after an initial racy flirtatiousness, there was a real kerpow of power and the impact of this wine blossomed towards the finish – a real peacock’s tail of a wine. Really lip smacking. The empty glass smelt almost like a Pinot cordial.
