Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, often abbreviated as DRC, produces renowned wine in the Burgundy region of France.
Consequently, many people regard it as one of the world’s greatest wines.
As a result, collectors and enthusiasts seek its bottles.
The wine has been highly-regarded for centuries.
As far back as 1780, the Archbishop of Paris described it as “velvet and satin in bottles.”
Therefore, the bottles rank among the most expensive and sought-after wines.
Romanée-Conti is a Grand Cru vineyard for red wine in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, France.
Specifically, the 1.81-hectare Romanée-Conti vineyard sits centrally located in the “grand cru belt” of Vosne-Romanée within Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits subregion.
Notably, the vineyard’s soil is shallower than its neighbours.
As a consequence, the wine has great finesse and a velvety texture.
In addition, the primary grape variety is Pinot noir.
Furthermore, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti owns it as a monopole (single owner vineyard).
Additionally, the estate takes its name from the vineyard.
In total, the vineyard covers 1.8 hectares (4.4 acres).
Moreover, the vines average 53 years of age.
Ultimately, they produce an average of 450 cases per year.
Romanée-Conti is mentioned in Roald Dahl’s 1979 novel My Uncle Oswald.
