7. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet Grand Cru

The Montrachet vineyard is often considered to be the jewel in the crown of Burgundy’s white wines and is widely regarded as one of the finest expressions of the Chardonnay grape in the world.

   Why must I go from page to page wasting precious time. Why can’t you list these on one page?

       Your “sediments” are at the bottom of a lake somewhere; I think you meant “sentiments.”

     I actually find it more convenient having to go next rather than scroll down.

   I couldn’t agree with Marlene more. I hate these lists that drag it out page by page. I got fed up with number 6 and went no further

   why lists not scroll down?

   google it

   Even though it was a bit time consuming to go thru page after page, it was still quite interesting to go thru them all. How I would love to taste these wines. After all, that is what its all about.

   OK, I’ll be a buzzkill – Some people are starving to death in the world. Some people can’t afford the meds necessary to stay alive. Some people can’t afford to keep a roof over their heads.

   And some people pay tens of thousands of dollars for a bottle of wine.

   nice.

   Last holidays I payed $17,200 for a bottle of 1959, in 2011 I donated $50,000 to help feed hunger in less fortunate countries. I am some people.

     No your just retarded, for paying that much for a bottle of alcohol. Anyways most charity contributions do not go toward the advertised cause. Look up pink ribbon foundation or salvation army. They make no progress and only use a fraction toward their cause.
