DRC Romanée-Conti 2015 is a full-bodied red wine from the Grand Cru climat of Romanée-Conti in the Vosne-Romanée commune of the Côte de Nuits. With a rich heritage that goes back to the 16th century, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti needs no introduction. The estate, which is co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families, is the largest proprietor of Grand Cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. The domaine has always cultivated its vines according to the principles of organic farming and in 2017 obtained the Biodyvin biodynamic certification. On the 2015 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru. "Produced from seriously old vines with an average age of 56 years, DRC’s headline act does not remotely disappoint. Aromatic fireworks of ripe red and black fruits, toast, spice and a note of decadent perfume lead into a complex palate showing pristine flavours of ripe raspberry, dark cherry, spice, cream and minerals that saturate your taste buds. It is lavishly upholstered by sweet, dense filigree tannins and buoyed by fine acidity - the opulent texture and presence of this wine is beyond remarkable. Already, it is open, profoundly expressive and accessible, however its concentration, acidity and structure will carry it through for decades to come. Arguably the ultimate terroir wine, this 2015 is also the epitome of truly great Pinot Noir." 100 points, Decanter, 2018

The 2015 Romanée-Conti rand Cru was picked at 22.65hl/ha on 10 September. This is almost dichotomous to the La Tâche: feminine, sensual, pure with perfumed red cherries, wild strawberry, crushed limestone and rose petals that are all exquisitely defined. These aromatics? They seem to sing to you. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin that render this so poised and precise, yet simultaneously deep and quite powerful. In a sense, it is more like a La Tâche in style, a Romanée-Conti that seeks to assert its authority from day one. There is wonderful cohesion and harmony here, an effortless quality that distinguishes this historic vineyard. There is no doubt in my mind that this is a bona fide classic Romanée-Conti, one of the finest that I have tasted in over two decades attending this same tasting in bottle. Tasted at Corney & Barrow’s annual in bottle tasting in London. Neal Martin1st April 2018
