Romanée Conti is Burgundy’s greatest producer, and its exceptionally rare wines are amongst the most sought-after and expensive in the world. Such is its fame, that Burgundians often refer to it simply as the ‘the Domaine’, and it owns incredibly valuable vineyards in each of Burgundy’s red wine Grand Crus.

Romanée Conti’s success is built on low yields and late harvests that maximise fruit concentration. Its Echezeaux vineyards account for consistently elegant Pinot style wines that mature relatively earlier than other Pinot Noirs from neighbouring Grand Crus in Burgundy’s Côtes de Nuits.

Bottle no 004562.

"Bricking now to an amber/ruby center. As are many '79s at this point, the nose is wonderfully expressive with strong hoison and spice aromas plus hints of rose petals, earth and sous bois. The rich, medium weight flavors are now quite supple and display a hint of the sauvage with a sweet, round, supple finish and fine length." Burghound
