DRC Domaine de la Romanée Conti

The Domaine de la Romanee-Conti is one of the most historic and certainly one of the most famous wineries in the world. Located in Vosne-Romanée, one of the great communes of Burgundy reds, we have news of the estate since 1451 when the monks of the convent of St. Vivant decided to sell a small plot of land to the Croonembourg family. Over the centuries various properties have alternated until 1760, the year in which the Conti princes took over the cellar and the vineyards, deciding to change the denomination to La Romanée. In the 18th century it passed into the hands of the Duvalt Blochets and then to his successors the Leroy/Roch and the de Villain; during these changes of ownership the domaine has acquired important plots in all the most important grand crus. The flagships, however, remain the two monopole vineyards “La Romanée Conti” and “La Tache” which are managed by the company in monopoly, an absolute value in the Burgundy panorama. Today the company has about 25 hectares of land, since 2008 it has all been biodynamic with very low yields per hectare.
