Notes

98pts Neal Martin writing for Vinous: "The 2022 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru was picked on 1 September at 37.3 hL/ha. It is not quite as deep in color as the La Tâche. But in another way, this is more immediate and comes out with all guns blazing, a kaleidoscope of red berry fruit, crushed stone, cumin, traces of Earl Grey and undergrowth.

The 2022 is a profound Romanée-Conti that will last for decades. 694 cases produced."(02/2025) Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "A little more delay in readiness like some of the earlier wines – lots of scale here and with a seamless impression that becomes finer and finer with air.
