Tasting notes

The 2011 Corton Grand Cru from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti put in a similar showing as it did just after bottling earlier last year. It has less of the mushroom element than I recollect, adorned with pastille-like purity of red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, a slight ferrous note developing with time in the glass. The palate has developed a tad more roundness in the mouth in recent months, the tannins softened a little and it is consequently less masculine and more approachable. That said, as much as I enjoyed polishing off my glass, I would advise allowing this several years in bottle so that it can lose its puppy fat.

About this wine

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Corton Grand Cru represents one of Burgundy's most prestigious expressions of Pinot Noir. This legendary estate, synonymous with excellence across its tiny vineyard holdings, brings its meticulous winemaking philosophy to this powerful red from the renowned Corton appellation. The chalky, mineral-rich terroir of this grand cru site produces wines of remarkable depth and structure, showcasing the complexity that defines fine Burgundy.

This dry, full-bodied Pinot Noir displays the characteristic elegance and aging potential for which Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is celebrated. Medium acidity and nuanced flavor development make this wine an exceptional choice for discerning collectors and fine dining applications. The wine's structure and intensity pair beautifully with game birds, duck, grilled meats, and rich preparations featuring mushrooms or truffles, while also complementing aged hard cheeses.
