Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is the iconic Burgundy estate that produces the most exclusive and sought-after wines in the world. The domaine – which takes its name from its most famous vineyard – has a rich heritage that goes all the way back to the 16th century, when it was farmed by the Benedictine monks of Saint-Vivant de Vergy. DRC only produces grand cru wines, including this Richebourg, from a 3.51-hectare parcel. The 2017 vintage is a superb expression of its terroir, offering aromas of bergamot, anise, pomegranates and a thin layer of lavender. On the palate, the wine is firm, rich and dense.

The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru was picked on September 8 and 10 at 37hl/ha and bottled from February 20 until March 25. It has a very fragrant and floral bouquet that would be easier to conflate with Romanée-Saint-Vivant, which was served after the Richebourg. The seductive nose reveals rose petals, vivid red fruit and a touch of sea spray. The palate is medium-bodied with tangy orange and marmalade veins on the entry, and plenty of red fruit that segues into a much more reserved finish. Some might argue that this is a bit of a lightweight Richebourg; rather, it is one that prioritizes grace and elegance, to use the words of Aubert de Villaine. 1,261 cases produced. Tasted at Corney & Barrow’s annual in-bottle tasting in London. - Neil Martin

Domaine de la Romanee-Conti

Words do not do justice to this legendary Burgundian producer. Situated in the commune of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée Conti (DRC) is considered by many to be the finest producer in the world. Co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families, DRC produces only Grand Cru wines - some of the most sought after and ageworthy in Burgundy - from key grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These include six reds: Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-St-Vivant, Échezeaux and Grands Échezeaux, and one white wine, Le Montrachet.

Run by co-directors Aubert de Villaine and Henri-Frédéric Roch for many years, the domaine is now entering a new chapter under new leadership. The domaine consists of 25 hectares of meticulously tended vineyards and includes some of the greatest terroirs in Burgundy.
