Domaine de la Romanée Conti is the most important winery in this appellation. Probably the most prestigious winery in the world, and therefore also the most expensive, and a national flagship in France. Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée St. Vivant, Échézeaux, Grands Echézeaux, Montrachet and Corton, the winery's historic collection of properties is made up of exceptional grands crus. Two of them are held in monopoly status (sole vineyard owners) and are all located in the heart of the Côte d'Or, one of the most prized areas for wine lovers. The history of this small domaine dates back to 1232, when the Abbey of Saint Vivant received as a donation some important vineyards in the locality of Vosne-Romanée, the current Romanée-Conti and Romanée Saint-Vivant. In 1760, the Prince de Conti, a member of the French royalty, acquired the property but lost it in 1780 when it was expropriated during the French Revolution; it was sold at auction. In the following decades, the Romanée-Conti has belonged to multiple owners until 1869 when it was acquired by Jacques-Marie Duvault Blochet, winemaker and owner of other prestigious vineyards. Duvault Blochet consolidated the vast and prestigious domain and to this day it is the descendants of his two daughters, the De Villaine and Leroy families, who hold, in equal shares, this noble property.

The Romanée-Conti Cellars are known worldwide as one of the most precious jewels in the world of wine. Located in the Burgundy region of France, these wineries are famous for producing some of the most exclusive and coveted wines on the planet. Their name comes from their flagship vineyard, the Romanée-Conti, which is a Pinot Noir Grand Cru that has achieved legendary status.

Romanée-Conti wines are known for their elegance, complexity and ageability. They are considered some of the finest examples of Burgundy wines, and their price reflects their iconic status.
