Lot #219. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Corton Prince Florent de Mérode 2009

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 95 AG.
"The 2009 Corton is a showstopper. The huge, boisterous bouquet is the first sign the Corton is just as dazzling from bottle as it was from barrel. Layers of fruit saturate the palate as this flashy, exuberant wine continues to put on weight as it sits in the glass. This is a decidedly opulent Burgundy that pushes the boundaries of what longtime DRC drinkers expect from the winery, but it is a gorgeous, striking wine in its own way. The 2009 is a great first vintage for the Corton. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. Domaine de la Romanee-Conti’s 2009s have turned out just as brilliantly as I had hoped. The wines reflect the signature qualities of the year, but never lose their essential classicism." Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate #200, Apr 2012
Provenance: The Méribel Cellar
Notes: Very lightly wrinkled capsule, very lightly scuffed ad lightly marked labels.
