"The 1969 Montrachet from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is a really lovely bottle of fully mature, but still vibrant grand cru white Burgundy. The deep and very classy bouquet offers up a refined blend of apple, pear, honey, delicate nutty tones, a touch of beeswax and a lovely base of complex soil tones. On the palate the wine is medium-full, long and completely elegant in personality, with a fine core of fruit, excellent focus and a very long, complex and zesty finish . . . . and perhaps it will prove to be even longer-lived than some of the more exalted vintages from this era. A superb wine."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
