Description

Based in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – or simply DRC – is the world-famous wine producer that needs no introduction. The iconic estate is jointly owned by two families, the de Villaine and the Leroy, with Alexandre Bernier in place as cellar master following the retirement of Bernard Noblet in 2018. DRC has the monopole of two grand cru vineyards, including the eponymous Romanée-Conti, which produces the domaine’s flagship cuvée from 1.8 hectares of old vines. This release is from the 2008 vintage, and it’s presented here in a show-stopping magnum bottle. Expect an intensely aromatic and inviting wine, featuring sweet berry fruit and some ethereal green notes.
