Domaine de la Romanee Conti
About DRC
Considered the pinnacle of Burgundy, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti produces some of the world’s most revered wines from its tiny vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. Two of the Domaine’s seven Grand Cru vineyards – La Romanée-Conti and La Tâche – are monopoles (appellations entirely owned by the Domaine) and unarguably the greatest vineyards in Burgundy. Richebourg, Romanée-St.-Vivant, Grands-Echézeaux, Echézeaux, and Montrachet (in Chassagne) are also Grand Cru vineyards, yielding sublime wines that are among the most highly-sought, seductive and rarest in the world.

Domaine Armand Rousseau
About Rousseau
Domaine Armand Rousseau grew from humble beginnings. Long being an estate that sold high quanties of bulk-wine, Armand Rousseau saw the future of single vineyard wines and invested a good part of his profits into buying highly esteemed grand-cru vineyards in the early 1900’s. The original commitment has paid off. Of the 13 hectares, 8 of those are grand-cru vineyards and all located in Morey-St-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin. The average age of the vines is nearing 50 years old… only more great things to come.
