These wines are from the collection of a dearly departed patriarch. He was a great lover of classic wines and the selection for sale most certainly reflects that. The bottles were purchased upon release and have been privately stored in the same location since joining the collection, temperature controlled.
1994 DRC La Tache Monopole Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - CellarTracker 90 points. This is the tasting note for 1994 DRC La Tache Monopole Grand Cru from Producer Notes - Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is arguably the most important vineyard in the world. Located in the Burgundy region of France, its nearly 800-year history is full of political intrigue, royal scandal, criminal plots, and plenty of mystery—all swirling around the most exclusive wine on the market. The story of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti began in the 13th century, when the vineyard was operated by the local monastery, The Abbey of Saint Vivant in Vosne. The vines are thought to have been cultivated by the Romans before that, giving them their name of “Romanée.” At this time, the vineyard was only a fraction of the size it is now. In the 1600s, it passed into the hands of the Croonembourge family, who also expanded it by purchasing the land known as La Tâche (from which DRC’s famed La Tâche wine takes its name). .
