Description

Situated in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – or simply DRC – is the world-famous wine producer that needs no introduction. Since 1942 the estate is co-owned by two families, the de Villaine and the Leroy, with Alexandre Bernier in place as head winemaker following the retirement of Bernard Noblet in 2018. DRC has the monopole of two grand cru vineyards, including the eponymous Romanée-Conti, which covers 1.8 hectares of old vines. This release is the 2011 vintage available here in a magnum bottle. Expect a sumptuous nose of red berries, spices and refined floral notes. The palate reveals a silky texture, very fine tannins and superb length. Stunning.
