La Romanée-Conti Grand Cru is a monopole vineyard of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and is often singled out as Burgundy’s greatest terroir. Originally called Cros des Cloux, this hallowed vineyard has a long and illustrious history, but its more modern era began with the first new vintage bottling from DRC in 1952, after replanting of the vines in 1947-48. This is a rare find from the 1996 vintage in wonderful magnum format.

The 1996 Romanée-Conti is a remarkable Pinot Noir characterized by its exceptional complexity, depth, and elegance. It showcases a perfect balance of rich fruit, earthiness, and minerality, with a long, lingering finish. Notes of ripe cherries, blackcurrant, violets, and hints of truffle and spices. Silky tannins and a long, complex finish. Not specifically mentioned but highly regarded and rated among enthusiasts and critics.

The Romanée-Conti vineyard produces some of the most revered wines in the world. This collection is famed for its exceptional terroir, meticulous vinification process, and very limited production, making it a true icon of Burgundy wine.
