100 Robert Parker
The Romanee-Conti is utterly mind blowing. The heady, intoxicating bouquet delivered penetrating and sublime aromas that were even more intense than those from the La Tache. On the palate, there is a veritable smorgasbord of earthly and heavenly delights. Needless to say, it is very rich, very opulent, and very concentrated. Red burgundy and red wine do not get any better than this. My guess is that it will peak between 1990 and 2005, as it is a bit more forward than either the La Tache or Richebourg. This fabled estate has had a brilliant track record since 1978. Lalou Bize-Leroy and Aubert de Villaine seem to have everything tightly within their grasps, so it is unlikely that some of the lapses in quality control that occurred previously will resurface. I am sure they still cannot understand why their estate is so frequently singled out for malicious attacks, but no one should have any trouble appreciating the domaine's 1985s, which are their best wines in decades, even surpassing their sensational 1978s. The problem is coming up with the cash to finance them. The wines, aged in 100% new oak, are never filtered.

Domaine de la Romanée Conti
Dies ist nicht nur die ikonischste Domaine in Burgund, sondern womöglich in ganz Frankreich und auf der ganzen Welt. Mit einem Monopol der beiden größten Weinberge Romanée-Conti und La Tâche, und einer guten Handvoll weiterer in Vosne-Romanée und darüber hinaus, konnte sie sich, bei aller Diskretion und Bescheidenheit, ihren ruhmreichen Status sichern. Sie befindet sich in Gemeinschaftseigentum der beiden Familien Villaine und Leroy-Roch, mit Aubert de Villaine als Geschätsführer seit 1974. Ihre Wurzeln reichen jedoch bis ins 13. Jahrhundert, als die Mönche von Saint-Vivant die ersten Reben setzten. Seit den 1980er-Jahren erfolgt die Bewirtschaftung ökologisch, und seit den 1990ern biodynamisch. Dies ist zweifellos auch die berühmteste Domaine der Region, die die ganzen Trauben fermentiert (und dies schon immer getan hat), ein etabliertes Verfahren, das Henri Jayer vermied, in den letzten Jahren aber viele andere Erzeuger inspiriert hat. Allen Meadows, der vielleicht versierteste Burgunder-Experte und -Kritiker auf der Welt, hat nur einem einzigen Wein jemals die perfekte Bewertung zugestanden – dem 1945er Romanée-Conti.
