Description

Located in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is arguably the most revered wine estate in the world. ‘DRC’ as it is frequently called produces wines from eight different grand cru vineyards– mostly reds – including this Richebourg, made from a 3.51-hectare plot. This is a very rare bottle from the 1966 vintage, a very generous year for Romanée-Conti.

About this wine

The 1966 Richebourg from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, classified as 'Low Fill' indicating that the wine level in the bottle is lower than normal, likely due to evaporation through the cork. This vintage is celebrated for its complexity, depth and sophistication, demonstrating a superb balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity. Rich layers of cherry, earth, spice, and a hint of truffle. Well structured with a long, elegant finish.

The Richebourg collection from Henri Jayer encompasses some of the most prestigious and exquisite Pinot Noir wines in the world, sourced from the esteemed Richebourg Grand Cru vineyard in the heart of Burgundy's Vosne-Romanée.
