2009 | Domaine de la Romanee Conti | Corton

Splendid colour. Ample, fat, black cherries and chocolate flavours on the nose. Full body. Quite structured and tannic. Very good grip. Good deep red. High-toned perfume of liqueur-like red berries, orange zest, minerals and truffle. Penetrating, savory and intense, delivering an exhilarating combination of creamy texture and energy. Wonderfully rich flavors of strawberry, raspberry, smoke and minerals complicated by chocolate and wild herbs. Firmly structured, very long wine with tannins fully enrobed by fruit.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: 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.

• John Gilman: The bouquet is deep, complex and quite plummy for young Corton, offering up scents of plums, black cherries, a hint of red currant, cocoa, venison, a nice base of minerality and a suave base of nutty new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite plush on the attack, with a sappy core, a fair bit of ripe tannin and impressive lightness of step on the long and beautifully balanced finish.

Producer Information

Considered the pinnacle of Burgundy, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti produces some of the world’s most revered wines from its tiny vineyards in Vosne-Romanee. Two of the Domaine's seven Grand Cru vineyards - La Romanée-Conti and La Tache - are monopoles (appellations entirely owned by the Domaine) and unarguably the greatest vineyards in Burgundy.
