When we talk about Romanée Conti we enter the elite of world wine. We are in the beating heart of that Burgundy that makes connoisseurs of great reds dream so much, to tell the story of a winery with more than mythical features. It all began back in 1451, when the monks of the convent of St. Vivant decided to give the Croonembourg family a small piece of vineyard, corresponding to today's Cros de Clou, one of the most precious crus of the current estate of the winery! Several properties then alternated at the helm of the winery in the following centuries, arriving in 1760 with the Princes of Conti, who, taking over the property, decided to change its name to La Romanée. Since the eighteenth century, first under the Duvault Blochet and then under his successors, the Leroy / Roch and the de Villaine, vineyard acquisitions have multiplied, integrating all the most important grand crus into the company assets, some of which - in the specifically “La Romanée Conti” and the “Tache” - absolutely “monopole”.
Today the rows extend over 25 hectares of land. In the vineyard, since 2008, we proceed only with biodynamic methods, with very low yields per hectare, which never exceed 18 hectoliters. The wines are produced under the severe and attentive gaze of the oenologist Bernard Noblet, son of art of André, also an oenologist in Romanée Conti.
Today the headquarters of DRC - this is the acronym used by all lovers of Romanée Conti - is located not far from the church of the municipality of Vosne-Romanée: it strikes the understatement of the building, indicated only with a small sign. In fact, it is the wines that speak, narrating an innate elegance, the result of centuries in which tradition and innovation come together, to give unforgettable sips. La Tâche, Corton, Échézeaux, and Richebourg are just some of the Grand Crus that, at each harvest, strike the hearts of enthusiasts and critics from all over the world.
