    The wine

    Since 2019, the most famous domain in the world has been crafting a wine from one of the most famous Côte de Beaune terroirs - Corton-Charlemagne. This legendary plot classified as a grand cru is rented out to Domaine Bonneau du Martray and has been run using organic and biodynamic methods for many years. The grapes from this distinguished plot are taking to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s the magical cellar to be vinified. The resulting wine is extremely complex and deep with an outstanding flavour profile and perfectly balanced by a freshness that appears from the first drop to the finish. Flavours of yellow fruits, citrus fruits, linden, walnut, hazelnut, toast and butter delight the palate. It’s a wine that should be left to rest for eight to ten years for it to reveal all of its terroir’s magic. You will be rewarded if you can be so patient.

    Information about domain La Romanée-Conti

    The name Romanée-Conti is enough to make all wine lovers worldwide tremble in awe. In 1760, Prince Louis-Francois de Bourbon-Conti bought a piece of land in Vosne-Romanée, planted by the predecessors of Saint-Vivant, before dying in 1776. It was confiscated during the Revolution and sold to the highest bidder in 1794. Then the 1.8 hectare plot was renamed Romanée-Conti and its name was given to the most prestigious domaines of Burgundy. In 1879, Jacques-Marie Duvault Blochet bought this property and it is Henry-Frédéric Roch, Lalou Bize-Leroy and its director, Aubert de Villaine who own it today. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) has 25 hectares of vines in Vosne, mainly in the grand crus of the commune: La Tâche, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Richebourg, Echezeaux, Grands-Echézeaux and of course La Romanée-Conti. In the Côte de Beaune, the domaine has recently acquired three farms in Corton, in addition to its legendary Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet vines (small, non-marketed production). Although La Romanée-Conti is at the heart of the domaine, the domaine's other grand crus are irreproachable due to the work carried out both in the vineyard (biodynamic) and in the winery (where whole grape harvests are vinified). The yields are extremely low and some wines such as Montrachet are not dated yearly as the quantities are too low (this was the case in 1992 and 2016). Its price clearly confirms its greatness.
