Robert Parker - 96 Points

"The 2011 Romanee-Conti was picked on 6 September at 26.83hl/ha. As usual, the Romanee-Conti is reticent at first, as if the wine is checking you out before deciding whether you are worthy. It then unfurls to reveal a precise, exquisitely focused bouquet with crushed strawberry, flint and smoke. The palate is devastatingly smooth on the entry. The tannins are lace-like, the acidity perfectly judged and it gently crescendos in the mouth towards a seductive poised finish that lingers incredibly long. This is a master-class in ‘less being more’: a consummate Romanee-Conti for mid- rather than long-term cellaring. 473 cases produced."

Antonio Galloni - 96 Points

"A fascinating, utterly contemplative Burgundy, the Romanée-Conti is quite dark and much more tannic at this stage than it usually is. Graphite, wild herbs, tar, plums and flowers meld together in a mysterious Burgundy endowed with considerable depth and power. This is going to be a fascinating wine to follow over the coming years and decades."
