Lot #26. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet 2008

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 99 NM.
"The 2008 Montrachet from Domaine de la Romanée-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 mineralité. 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 salinité that leaves you begging for more. This is close to perfection. Tasted at the mature white Burgundy dinner in Hong Kong." Vinous, May 2019
Provenance: The Saffron Cellar
Notes: Nicked capsule, lightly scuffed label, #00072.
