The story of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) is universally regarded as the greatest wine producer in the world. Located in Vosne-Romanée, in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, the domaine is the sole owner (monopole) of the Grand Cru Romanée-Conti and La Tâche.
The portfolio also includes parcels in the Grand Cru Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Grands-Échézeaux, Échézeaux, Corton and Le Montrachet. All the wines are produced with biodynamic viticulture and minimal vinifications, using exclusively whole bunches.
Total production is around 6,000 cases a year. The prices are the highest in the world: a bottle of Romanée-Conti can exceed 20,000 euros. The domaine is co-owned by the de Villaine and Leroy families.
The Story
A journey through time
I monaci di Saint-Vivant

Il Principe di Conti
Louis-François de Bourbon, Principe di Conti, acquisisce il vigneto che prenderà il suo nome: Romanée-Conti. Il vino diventa il più celebre di Francia.
L'era de Villaine
La famiglia de Villaine acquisisce il controllo del domaine. Aubert de Villaine guiderà il DRC per decenni, portandolo ai vertici assoluti della viticoltura mondiale.
