Vintage information 2000:

A super year for whites, concentrated, certainly ripe but good balancing acidity.
The reds are clearly from a 'ripe' vintage but all started quite delicious. Then followed a mawkish phase. Occasional Côte de Nuits wines can even rival the imperious 99s though the average quality is a lower. In the Côte de Beaune, most wines were wonderfully ripe, joyous even on release. Many recent bottles are back to form - even with hints of maturity, but do yourself a favour and wait a little longer for your grand crus...

2000 Romanée-Conti, MontrachetNov. 2003
Medium-pale yellow with just a tinge of green to the rim. Citrus, apple, peach and toasty bread all glued together with a botrytis note – lots of things you can find on the nose. Once you put your lips to the glass you’re in for quite an experience – the wine is just so fat you can’t believe that it can be balanced – but balanced it is. Somehow seems to have a mineral streak running through its centre too. Very long. Yep – I’m impressed!
