Reviews 95 points Wine Advocate "The huge, boisterous bouquet is the first sign the Corton is just as dazzling from bottle as it was from barrel. Layers of fruit saturate the palate as this flashy, exuberant wine continues to put on weight as it sits in the glass. This is a decidedly opulent Burgundy that pushes the boundaries of what longtime DRC drinkers expect from the winery, but it is a gorgeous, striking wine in its own way. (AG)" 94 points Burghound "This was brooding from cask and now that it's in bottle, it's still a brooding and introverted effort with a clearly sauvage nose of deeply pitched plum and a variety of purple fruit aromas that are liberally sprinkled with earth and spice nuances that introduce rich, powerful and robust big-bodied flavors that are dense and quite serious, all wrapped in a complex and well-muscled finish. (AM)"

About Domaine de la Romanee-Conti
Sitting at the zenith of the global wine realm, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, universally known as "DRC," is a legendary Burgundy wine estate located in Vosne-Romanée. Co-directed by wine virtuoso Aubert de Villaine, DRC stands out with its 28 hectares of grand cru vineyards producing extraordinary and incredibly age-worthy cuvees.
The estate is an undisputed leader in biodynamic farming, enhancing the vineyards' ecosystem, elevating the quality benchmarks of these prestigious appellations, and promoting a holistic approach to viticulture. Their stringent practices encompass regular plowing, striving for low yields, and implementing séléction massale, a propagation method that ensures the vineyard's genetic diversity, leading to wines that surprise and impress with each vintage.
DRC's reverence for tradition extends to their cellars, where winemaking processes are meticulously carried out. Native yeast fermentations, gentle extractions, and aging in new oak barrels reveal the nuanced complexity of their wines. The result is an array of cerebral, expressive, and rare wines that are among the world's most sought-after.
The grandeur of DRC stems from its seven grand cru vineyards - La Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-St.-Vivant, Grands Échézeaux, Echézeaux, and Montrachet in Chassagne. La Romanée-Conti and La Tâche are monopoles - vineyards entirely owned by the Domaine - undeniably among Burgundy's finest. These vineyards give rise to the most seductive, sublime, and rare wines sought after by connoisseurs worldwide.
Uniquely, the vineyards of DRC are recognized as UNESCO world heritage sites, emphasizing their extraordinary terroir and wine production. The limited production, coupled with the prestige and historicity of DRC, contributes to their wines' high demand and exceptional value at auctions.
In essence, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is more than a winery; it's an embodiment of Burgundy's age-old traditions, unflinching dedication to quality, and the profound connection between land, people, and wine.
