Domaine de Romanée-Conti, Great Burgundy wine

All about the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in Vosne-Romanée, in Côte de Nuits, Burgundy.

The world's most expensive wine and a veritable grail for discerning tasters seeking to conquer the wines of this prestigious estate - a conquest sometimes in vain, as the wines are rare and produced in insufficient quantities to meet the very high global demand - Romanée-Conti is the myth of wine myths and the major symbol of Burgundian perfection. Originating from the priory of Saint-Vivant in the 10th century (in 900), this estate can look back on 1500 years of history. The first vines of “Cloux des cinq journaux”, the name given at the time before the name Romanée-Conti appeared at the end of the 18th century, were planted by the priors in the 13th century. In 1651, the name “Romanée” appeared to designate the parcel, before “Romanée-Conti” came to be known by this name in 1794, at the time owned by Prince Louis-François de Bourbon-Conti. In 1869, the estate was bought by Jacques-Marie Duvault Blochet, before becoming the property of both the De Villaine and Leroy families in the 1940s. The famous Lalou Bizeul-Leroy (Domaine Leroy) and the remarkable Aubert De Villaine managed Romanée-Conti until the 90s. La Romanée-Conti and its 1.8-hectare parcel produce one of the world's most prized Burgundy wines. The 27.35-hectare estate comprises five of its own crus, including Le Richebourg, La Tache, La Romanée Saint-Vivant, La Romanée, a Corton-Charlemagne and La Romanée-Conti. Each cru is biodynamically farmed and produces wines that are symbols of excellence.
