Domaine de Montille Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Malconsorts Cuvee Christiane 2018 [NET]
The flagship red of the house, the Cuvee Christiane comes from a parcel within Les Malconsorts that sits across a path from the rest of the climat, bordered on the north and west by La Tache itself. The vines, planted in 1953, are among the oldest in Vosne, and Etienne bottles this fruit separately as a tribute to his late mother. The 2018 is warm and opulent, a generous vintage filtered through Etienne's pure modern style with roughly two-thirds whole cluster and 60% new oak. Dense, dark-fruited and still tightly coiled, this is a profoundly age-worthy bottle that has decades ahead of it. Hold five to ten years for the tannins to really integrate. Drink 2030 through 2050.
