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.

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.
The 1997 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet Grand Cru is an exceptionally rare, highly coveted ultra-premium white Burgundy.
Moreover, now nearly 30 years old, it is highly mature.
The aromas include honey, tropical fruit, anise, crème brûlée, butterscotch, and lightly toasted nuts.
Then, on the palate, it has a creamy and rich texture with vibrant acidity, featuring flavours of tangerine, hazelnut, and white flowers.
The finish has massive, persistent length of flavour.
Ultimately, the producers created only 2,644 bottles of DRC Montrachet 1997.
