Product information
Tasting note: Domaine Romanée-Conti La Romanée-Conti 1944
(Grand Cru, Burgundy, France)
Appearance
A soft, translucent ruby red with an amber-coloured brightening at the rim - a sign of noble ageing. Slight sediment deposits and a delicate viscosity betray the decades in the cellar. The colour is reminiscent of autumn leaves, but the clarity underlines the immaculate ageing.
Nose
A bouquet of transcendent complexity that breathes history:
Tertiary aromas: dried morella, truffle, damp leaves and old leather.
Botanical nuances: cedar wood, dried thyme and a hint of faded violets.
Oxidative elegance: Mushroom spice, tobacco leaf and a delicate hint of balsamic vinegar.
Terroir reflection: A mineral core of limestone and iron, typical of the sacred soil of La Romanée-Conti.
Palate
A ballet of time and finesse:
Fruit & Earth: faded cherry jam interwoven with aromas of porcini mushrooms and autumn truffles.
Acidity & structure: The acidity is amazingly lively - a thin silver thread that carries the dense flavours. The tannins, once powerful, are now velvety soft and barely noticeable.
Texture: Silky and weightless, almost ghostly, with a hint of bitterness reminiscent of dark chocolate and decaffeinated espresso.
Finish
A finish that lasts for minutes. Dominant are notes of toasted walnuts, dried herbs and a mineral saltiness that evokes the spirit of the terroir. The last memory is a melancholic sweetness, like the echo of a yellowed love letter.
Overall rating
A wine for the ages, combining the essence of Burgundy and the drama of the 1944 vintage. Produced in the midst of war, this wine reflects the resilience of viticulture. The Domaine Romanée-Conti has created a wine that sacrifices neither strength nor grace - a paradox of fragility and immortality.
Drinking window: A wine that has long since reached maturity, but is not yet in decline thanks to its acidity. Unique and unrepeatable.
Recommendation: Do not decant - serve gently from the bottle at 14-16°C. Accompanied by silence and respect, perhaps with a simple mushroom risotto or on its own as a meditation.
Note: A wine like this is a gift of time. Only with perfect provenance does it unfold its full poetry - a relic that has survived war, time and transience. 🍷🕊️
La Romanée-Conti 1944 is not a wine, but a monument: history, passion and the soul of Burgundy come together in one glass.
