For many fine wine afficionados Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is the pinnacle of wine. Run by the indefatigable Aubert de Villaine, the domaine consists of 25 hectares of biodynamically tended vineyards, all of which are of Grand Cru classification and includes some of the greatest terroirs in Burgundy. 2001 was a cooler vintage from which just 873 cases of Grands-Échézeaux were produced. This should be at best for drinking now or over the next 2-3 years.
