DOMAINE DE LA ROMANÉE-CONTI
"Romanée-Conti," as the local proverb goes, "is the central pearl of the Burgundian necklace." This minuscule vineyard gives its name to the most famous Domaine in the world, commonly referred to as 'D.R.C.' or, more reverentially, as The Domaine. This pearl, this small jewel, just under 5 acres, was coveted by a famous collector of jewelry, Madame de Pompadour, but she was out bid by the Prince de Conti, hence the name. The King's minister won against the King's mistress! In 1868 the vineyard passed to the de Villaine family and is still, today, managed by Aubert de Villaine.
We are proud to offer this small selection of some of the Domaine's best vineyards, including La Tâche, Richebourg and Romanée-Conti.
