The white wine Montrachet Grand Cru AOC, vintage 1996 from the winery Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has been rated in 2016 by Peter Moser with 97 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Chardonnay from the region Cote de Nuits in France.
Medium golden yellow. An intensely mineral nose with hints of roasted nuts underpinned with candied citrus zest, orange peel and fine honey nuances. With more air comes white peach - seems surprisingly youthful. Complex and taut on the palate, with a core of fine extract sweetness. There's unquestionably vital power, which is underlined by a vivid acidity. A touch of butterscotch in the finish as well as saline, background flinty nuances and a repeat of the hazelnut note in the finish. Has great further ageing potential.
