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.
The 1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet Grand Cru is an extraordinarily rare, highly collectible, dry white Burgundy wine made from 100% Chardonnay.
It represents the smallest production of all the eight grand crus made by the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC), making it their rarest bottling.
The 1999 growing season in Burgundy produced excellent quality white wines.
DRC Montrachet 1999 has an intense, buttery, and complex style featuring flavours of stone fruits, almonds, smoke, chamomile, pineapple, and orange peel.
Overall, this specific bottling is a bolder, more structured wine rather than one of sheer finesse.
Ultimately, the producers created only 3,590 bottles of DRC Montrachet 1999.
