Introducing Domaine de La Roman\u00e9e-Conti<\/h3>\n

The wines of Domaine de la Roman\u00e9e-Conti (RDC), located around the village of Vosne-Roman\u00e9e, are the most revered in Burgundy.<\/p>\n

The estate's lands have been gradually developed since 1232, when the Abbaye Saint-Vivant de Vosne acquired 1.8 hectares of vineyard. It was then renamed Roman\u00e9e in 1631 by the de Croonembourg family, who extended their holding over a period of 130 years, before selling the property to the Prince de Conti, who named the vineyard Roman\u00e9e-Conti.<\/p>\n

Later owners acquired prime vineyards in \u00c9ch\u00e9zeaux, Grands \u00c9ch\u00e9zeaux, Richebourg and La T\u00e2che. All the Domaine's vineyards are classified as Grand Cru, and produce predominantly rich, complex Pinot Noir wines that are also elegant and sublime. Clive Coates, Master of Wine, explains: \"...this is the purest, most aristocratic, most intense example of Pinot Noir you can imagine.\" Montrachet, a highly sought-after white wine based on Chardonnay, is also produced.<\/p>\n

Co-owned by the de Villaine and Leroy \/ Roch families, the estate is now run by Aubert de Villaine and Henri-Frederic Roch. The complex land ownership laws that still prevail in Burgundy (a relic of the Napoleonic era) mean that the de Villaine land is shared between ten family members, while the Leroy sisters each own 25% of their family's share.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
