Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Romanée-Conti Grand Cru 1992

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) is widely regarded as the most prestigious estate in Burgundy, producing wines of unrivaled complexity, elegance, and longevity. Romanée-Conti Grand Cru, the crown jewel of the domaine, is a monopole vineyard spanning 1.81 hectares, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after wines in the world. With only a few thousand bottles produced annually, its scarcity and legendary status make it a pinnacle of fine wine collecting and investment.

Its legacy spans centuries, from the Bourbon Prince of Conti’s ownership of the estate’s namesake vineyard in the 18th century, through the upheavals of the French Revolution, to its stewardship today under the de Villaine and Leroy/Roch families.

The 1992 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm growing season followed by a wet harvest period, resulting in a lighter, more elegant style of wine compared to more structured vintages. Despite these challenges, top domaines like DRC managed to produce wines of finesse.
