de la Romanee Conti

Domaine de la Romanee Conti wines are one of the most expensive and highly regarded bottles in the world.  It has a royal history dated by 1232 and once owned by the Prince de Conti, Louis-Francois de Bourbon until  it was auctioned off as a national asset during the french revolution. At present, it is being run by two shareholders-managers, Henri Frederic Roch (of the Leroy family) and Aubert de Villaine, the direct descendant of Jacques-Marie Duvault-Bloche the 1st generation that built the Domaine we know today.

The Domaine has 8 grand crus namely Romanée-Conti, La Tache, Richebourg, Romanée-St-Vivant, Grands-Echezeaux, Echezeaux, Montrachet, and Corton. Their flagship wine, Romanee Conti has been consistently rated by The Wine Advocate 90 to 100 points since 1953 except for the 1965 vintage that was said to be the worst growing season ever.
