Domaine de la Romanee Conti Echezeaux 2022 (750ml)

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is universally regarded as the most prestigious and iconic wine estate in Burgundy — and one of the greatest in the world. Owned jointly by the de Villaine and Leroy families, the domaine traces its history back to the 13th century, with the Romanée-Conti vineyard itself acquired in 1869. Under the leadership of Aubert de Villaine (and now co-managed with his nephew Bertrand de Villaine), DRC has achieved mythical status for producing Pinot Noir of unparalleled complexity, elegance, and longevity.

Farmed biodynamically with extremely low yields and traditional, minimalist winemaking, DRC wines are the ultimate expression of terroir. They are incredibly rare, allocated on strict allocation lists, and consistently rank among the most sought-after and valuable wines on the planet. These are wines built for decades (often centuries) of aging, revealing layer upon layer of floral, red fruit, spice, and earthy complexity with time.

Key Vineyards to Watch

Buyers should focus on these legendary cuvées:

• Romanée-Conti Grand Cru — The crown jewel. A tiny monopole vineyard producing the most profound and refined Pinot Noir in the world. The ultimate collector’s wine.
• La Tâche Grand Cru — Another monopole. Renowned for its power, structure, and explosive aromatic intensity. Often more approachable in youth than Romanée-Conti while still extremely age-worthy.
• Richebourg Grand Cru — Rich, velvety, and opulent, with incredible depth and silky texture.
• Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru — The most elegant and floral of the domaine’s reds, showing finesse and purity.
• Grands Échézeaux Grand Cru — Muscular yet refined, with excellent structure and complexity.
• Montrachet Grand Cru — DRC’s rare and exceptional white Burgundy. Powerful, mineral-driven Chardonnay of extraordinary concentration and aging potential.
