2017 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti
The wine of Prince de Conti, Romanee-Conti Grand Cru is velvety, seductive and mysterious. The most Proustian of all great wines: concealed in the secret aromas of fading rose petals, much like Romanee-Conti 1956.
Considered the pinnacle of Burgundy, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti produces some of the world’s most revered wines from its tiny vineyards in Vosne-Romanee. Two of the Domaine’s seven Grand Cru vineyards – La Romanée-Conti and La Tache – are monopoles (appellations entirely owned by the Domaine) and unarguably the greatest vineyards in Burgundy. Richebourg, Romanee-St.-Vivant, Grands-Echezeaux, Echezeaux, and Montrachet (in Chassagne) are also Grand Cru vineyards, yielding sublime wines that are among the most highly-sought, seductive and rarest in the world.
