Merchant's description

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – often abbreviated as DRC – is one of the most prestigious and highly regarded wine estates in Burgundy. Located in the village of Vosne-Romanée, DRC is known for producing some of the finest and most sought-after wines in the world, primarily from Pinot Noir. The estate encompasses several Grand Cru vineyards, including the eponymous Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-St-Vivant and Corton, where this release comes from. The 2012 vintage was a difficult one in Burgundy, marked by a late spring frost, hailstorms, and a cool, wet summer. Despite the challenges, DRC managed to produce a remarkable wine that showcases their expertise in winemaking.
