Yields are mind numbingly low and the winemaking is traditional and perfectionist. These are not merely among the most sumptuous wines of Burgundy but certainly the most stylish. JASPER MORRIS MW

As to the wines, it's obviously extremely early but I can say that they are extremely promising. They are at once supple and dense and there is absolutely no trace of surmaturité as was the case in say 2003. They are also exceptionally rich and opulent and I very much like the balance and terroir transparency that should enable all of the wines to age for decades." As the scores and commentaries confirm, the Domaine's 2015s are magnificent and should rank among the very best vintages here made in the 21st C. While we were tasting I remarked to M. de Villaine that the Romanée-Conti seemed to transcend even its typical remarkable quality and he responded by saying that "it is perhaps the best Romanée-Conti that we have made in a very long time."

This is without question one of the world’s greatest wine estates and perhaps the most sought-after wines on earth. Very little can be said about this domaine that most aficionados are not already aware of: co-owned by the de Villaine & Leroy/Roch families, Domaine de la Romanee Conti manipulates a staggering 25ha of Grands Crus including the two legendary monopoles of Romani Conti and La Tache as well as superb holdings in Richebourg, Romanee st Vivant, Grands Echezeaux, Echezeaux and Le Montrachet with Corton also being produced from 2009 from the former Domaine Prince Florent de Merode holdings after a lease was signed by the domaine to effectively control their vineyards for 36 years.
