Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – or simply DRC – is undoubtedly the most prestigious wine producer in Burgundy. The iconic estate is co-owned by the de Villaine and Leroy families, with Alexandre Bernier in place as cellar master following the retirement of Bernard Noblet in 2018. The Corton Grand Cru is a recent addition to the Romanée-Conti’s portfolio, produced from a 2.28-hectare vineyard leased to DRC by Prince Florent de Merode since November 2008. The 2019 vintage exhibits a lovely aroma profile, including raspberries, red cherries and fine spices. On the palate, the wine is fresh and juicy, punctuated by notes of spicy oak, red berries and minerals.

The 2019 Corton Grand Cru is a big, rich wine that announces the vintage in style. Black cherry, plum and lavender are some of the many notes that are dialed up in the 2019. This is an especially somber, almost brooding Corton with a good deal of lift from the whole clusters that lends verve and energy. Hints of incense, dried herbs and gravel build into the heady finish. Stem influence is a bit more pronounced here than it is in the other wines, but the overall impression is of a Burgundy that marries elegance with power. Yields were just 15 hectoliters per hectare.Antonio Galloni30th June 2022
