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 1995 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 cultivates its oldest vines here.
Moreover, this wine offers a span of drinkability that is unmatched for white Burgundy.
Montrachet’s reputation is as the greatest dry white wine in the world, thus it has a lot to live up to.
However, this wine always shines, be it at six months from barrel or after 25 years in bottle.
At over 30 years old, the 1995 DRC Montrachet has highly evolved characteristics.
Specifically, the aromas include hazelnuts, chestnuts, white flowers, anise, liquid minerals, and warm buttered toast.
In addition, on the palate, it presents as full-bodied and highly concentrated.
Furthermore, the finish delivers an exceptionally long, powerful, and pure experience.
Consequently, producers make DRC Montrachet in exceptionally small quantities, often rarer by volume than the flagship Romanée-Conti red wine.
Ultimately, the producers created only 1,718 bottles of DRC Montrachet 1995.
