Tasting notes
Opulent and luscious from the outset, the 1990 Montrachet exudes immediacy and tons of pure charm. Orange confit, apricot, crème brûlée, passion fruit, hazelnut, and vanillin abound in a Montrachet that beautifully captures the natural radiance and power of the vintage. Although heading into maturity, the 1990 has enough sheer depth to remain deeply intriguing for years to come. Tasted at the DRC Montrachet charity event in New York.

This is one of the greatest dry whites I have ever consumed. I was lucky enough to drink it this spring at a friend\'s birthday in Hong Kong. It was so dense and layered with an amazing character of apples, cream, dried pineapples and apricots. It was full-bodied but not heavy, and there was this incredible energy in the wine that shocked you to the bone. It went on for what seemed like hours on the palate.
About the producer
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or simply “DRC” is without doubt the most famous domaine in Burgundy and one of the most famous producers on earth. The Grand Cru vineyard from which it takes its name produces the world’s most expensive wine by a long margin.
