Montrachet, an Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) and Grand Cru vineyard, produces white wine made of Chardonnay.
Furthermore, it lies in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy.
In addition, the vineyard straddles the border between the two communes of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet.
As a result, many consider it to produce the greatest dry white wine in the world.
Moreover, four other Grand Cru vineyards surround it, all having “Montrachet” as part of their names.
Consequently, many wine enthusiasts generally consider Montrachet superior to its four Grand Cru neighbours.
Its higher price confirms this.

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 provides a timespan 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 nearly 30 years old, the 1998 displays a deep, mature golden-yellow sheen.
It has a powerful, complex bouquet featuring honey, toasted hazelnuts, white truffles, sweet peaches, and exotic spices.
On the palate, it is dense and multi-dimensional.
It balances its naturally high acidity with a rich, harmonious roundness and a seamless finish.
