DRC Romanée-Conti 2021 is a medium--bodied red wine from the Grand Cru climat of La Romanée-Conti in 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 2021 Romanée-Conti. "As so often, the palest wine in the lineup; and as always, glass-fillingly yet wonderfully subtle and delicate to smell, with the year’s cool, herbal complex, and the characteristic abundance in the glass. Fresh, very finely tannic, a beautifully reserved, restrained constitution, all poise and grace and transparency, so fragrant, so long, so delicate, and with, as in the 2008s, a distinct sweetness to the fruit. Enveloping in scent-as-taste, exciting in its quiet raciness, and supremely persistent. An extraordinary combination of extravagance and quietly disposed, serene inner energy—musically, the equivalent of an emphasis on absolute quality of sound as distinct from its volume. The almost weightless, infinite subtlety and sweetness that is the similarly constituted 1980 Romanée-Conti today, at 40 years and more, is testimony to just how seductively this will likely age, too." Michael Schuster, 2024

The 2021 Romanée-Conti Grand Cru wafts across the palate with haunting aromatics and tons of sheer aristocratic beauty. It's like a bespoke suit or couture dress in which the details are present, but also incredibly subtle and only really evident to the discerning eye. I realize that might sound haughty, but I don't know of any other way to describe the 2021. It's a wine of haunting beauty that is classic Romanée-Conti in its mix of elusiveness and sheer allure.
