Tasting note: Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) - La Romanée-Conti 1959
Colour:
A soft, translucent garnet red that fades into soft orange tones and amber reflections over time. The colour betrays its great age, but its clarity and vibrant depth testify to immaculate ageing.
Bouquet:
A sensual kaleidoscope of tertiary aromas, like a walk through an autumnal forest floor: damp leaves, truffles, cedar and a hint of smoke, with dried cherries, stewed plums and a hint of violets shimmering underneath. Over time, noble nuances of leather, tobacco and a mineral character reminiscent of damp chalk stone unfold. An aroma of hypnotic complexity.
Palate:
A majestic balance between elegance and power unfolds on the palate. The ripe column of lively acidity carries flavours of preserved red fruits, dried figs and a pinch of saffron. The tannins are silky, almost invisible, leaving a texture of floating lightness. Notes of musk, balsamic vinegar and a hint of bitter almond interweave with the mineral depth of the terroir.
Finish:
A finish of epic length - minutes in which the flavours slowly evaporate, like the last chord of a symphony. Memories of cloves, truffles and a subtle sweetness of candied rose petals linger.
Overall impression:
A wine that epitomises the soul of Burgundy. The 1959 La Romanée-Conti is a contemporary witness to perfect harmony between vintage, terroir and craftsmanship. Despite its age, it radiates a youthful freshness, carried by the unrivalled density of the Grand Crus. A wine that is not drunk, but experienced - a rarity that inspires awe.
Drinking recommendation:
Serve at 16-18°C from large crystal glasses, decant carefully to separate any sediment. Ideal as a meditation wine or accompanied by delicate dishes such as partridge with truffle risotto or a simple game bird in a reduced sauce.
Rating:
★★★★★★★★★★ (10/10) - An unforgettable experience that confirms the legend of DRC. Only a few bottles still exist, and each one is a precious artefact of the art of winemaking.
