DRC La Romanée-Conti Grand Cru
Vosne-Romanée, France
About this product
The most celebrated wine on earth. A 1.8-hectare Grand Cru monopole in Vosne-Romanée — the only plot in Burgundy producing a wine named for itself. Ungrafted vines (a small plot survived phylloxera on sand). Yields typically below 15 hl/ha. The wine is never the darkest, never the most tannic, never the most immediately impressive at DRC — yet within 20 years it transcends all peers. The 'Grand Cru' is a BYOB event for the world's most serious collectors. BC availability: auction only.
