Corton DRC 2011

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – often abbreviated as DRC – is one of the most prestigious and highly regarded wine estates in Burgundy. Located in the village of Vosne-Romanée, DRC is known for producing some of the finest and most sought-after wines in the world, primarily from Pinot Noir. The estate encompasses several Grand Cru vineyards, including the eponymous Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-St-Vivant and Corton, where this release comes from. The 2011 vintage was marked by a rather challenging growing season, with cool temperatures and some issues with rain. However, the skilled winemakers at DRC managed to produce a beautiful wine with good structure and balance.
