Montrachet is an Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard for white wine made of Chardonnay.
It is in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy.
The vineyard straddles the border between the two communes of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet
It produces what many consider to be the greatest dry white wine in the world.
Four other Grand Cru vineyards surround it, all having “Montrachet” as part of their names.
Many generally consider Montrachet superior to its four Grand Cru neighbours, and this reflects in its higher price.
DRC Montrachet 1987 price
Tiny, at just 1.65 acres in size and with vines whose average age is 65 years, DRC produces an incomparable Montrachet.
Indeed, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti owns its oldest vines here.
Furthermore, the wine offers a span of drinkability that unmatched in Burgundy.
Montrachet’s reputation is as the greatest dry white wine in the world, so a lot to live up to.
But this wine is always beautiful, be it at six months from barrel or 25 years in bottle.
The 1987 vintage was a challenging, rain-affected year for Burgundy.
However, DRC bucked the trend.
The Domaine created a thick, dense, and viscous dry white wine that surprised drinkers.
Indeed, some connoisseurs consider it better, or at least as good as, the excellent 1989 DRC Montrachet.
It has aromas of ripe fruit, honey, and minerals.
On the palate, it has crisp, clean, elegant acidity.
Overall, this 1987 wine is now fully mature.
Ultimately, the producers created only 2,015 bottles of DRC Montrachet 1987.
