Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or DRC as it is commonly known, is easily Burgundy’s best-known and most collectible wine producer. Based in the Burgundy village of Vosne-Romanée, the domaine sells wines from eight different grand cru vineyards that span the length of the Côte d’Or. The most famous comes from the eponymous Romanée-Conti vineyard, and on average is the most expensive wine in the world.
“Golden yellow colour, greenish reflections. Nutty notes on the nose, plus exotic fruits, smoke, white flowers, stony, cool, noble and decidedly complex. The palate is soft, full-bodied, yet remains highly elegant, the fruit seems crisp, juicy and is carried by a wonderful acidity. The finish is spicy and of excellent length, ending on crème brûlée. The wine still shows a lot of opulence, but the minerality is more accentuated.” Adrian van Velsen, Wine Searcher. (2021)
