2012 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Conti Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France

Romanée-Conti, a grand cru climat of the Vosne-Romanée appellation, is quite easily one of the most famous vineyards in the world.

It covers just 1.81 hectares (4.47 acres) of vines on the midslope of the Côte d'Or, and is a monopole of Burgundy's iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The vineyard makes less than 500 cases of a single Pinot Noir that is one of the most expensive and sought-after wines in the world.

Usually, choosing between La Tâche and Romanée-Conti is like choosing between your two favourite children. Not this year. The 2012 Romanée-Conti is one of the most spellbinding that I have tasted since I began 17 years ago. The bouquet is quite astonishing with brilliant delineation and focus, an almost disorientating sense of mineralité that soars from the glass and leaves you speechless. The palate is perfectly proportioned with a sensational line of acidity, brimming over with energy and frisson. This flirts with perfection and you know, one day it might actually achieve it. Just 350 cases produced. Reviewed by Neal Martin. Issue date: February 2015. Drinking window: 2020-2050.

The 2012 Romanée-Conti, usually a model of restraint and elusiveness, is surprisingly big in this vintage. The flavors are quite dark and bold in a decidedly structured, brooding RC that won't be ready to deliver the full range of its extraordinary beauty for many years. Deep layers of spiced, mentholated notes continue to open up in a dazzling, contemplative Burgundy. Readers lucky enough to latch on to a few bottles are incredibly fortunate, let's leave it at that.
