On ancestral lands located in Vosne-Romanée, the Domaine de la Romanée Conti has been producing bottles of exceptional quality for over two centuries. Its flagship wine is the "Romanée Conti".

It is rightly considered one of the most prestigious estates in Burgundy.

Here are some key elements of the estate's flagship wine:

•

• 
  
  Yield: 20 to 25 hectoliters per hectare.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Production: only 3,000 to 6,000 bottles of Romanée Conti are produced per year, intended in advance for prestigious clients on a waiting list.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Wine style: at its peak, the great wine La Romanée Conti is a unique blend of density and silkiness.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Grape variety: Pinot Noir.
  
  
  
• 
  
  Nose: notes of black fruits, blueberry, tobacco, followed by touches of wood, leather, and truffle.
