The Winery

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Located at No.1, Rue Derrière le Four in Vosne-Romanée, nestled next to an old stone house, sits Domaine De La Romanée Conti. Boasting seven Grand Cru Vineyards- with 2 of them: La Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, being designated as "monopoles” or hailing from a single vineyard and producer, these are the rarest and most highly sought-after wines in the world.

The domain's winemaker, Aubert de Villaine, over the past 40 years, has done much to protect the reputation of quality of Burgundy's greatest bottles. Mr. de Villaine's great-great-great grandfather began acquiring their most famous crus including: 100% of the La Tâche vineyard, 44% of the masculine-style Richebourg vineyard, 55% of the elegant Romanée Saint-Vivant, 38% of Grands Echézeaux and 12% of Echézeaux. There is such attention to every detail that their vineyards are farmed by hoof: utilizing the gentle action of horse's hooves, rather than heavy machinery, so that the soils are not compacted by weight.

Tasting Notes

WA100
The 2015 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is one of the pinnacles of this great red Burgundy vintage, opening in the glass to reveal a bouquet of kaleidoscopic complexity, notes of raspberry and red plum mingling with rose petal, peony, blood orange and spice. On the palate, the wine is silky, medium to full-bodied and stunningly complete, its supremely elegant tannins entirely cloaked in pristinely delicate red fruit. Despite its incredible concentration and persistence, this Romanée-Conti is utterly weightless, and its effortless harmony and unremitting finish preclude any argument about its benchmark quality. Cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare and harvested September 10.
