Vosnee- Romanée Romanée -Conti There is little that can be said that would adequately venerate the vineyard of Romanée -Conti, the precision and complexity of its wines and the romantic alchemy of it all. At the pinnacle of the great vineyards of the region, Romanée-Conti stands above all as one of the world's finest, rarest and most expensive wines. A monopole of Domaine de la Romanée -Conti, the walled vineyard produces wines of such majesty that its history has evolved into legend, making it one of the most talked about wines on earth. La Tâche Wholly owned by Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, La Tâche is considered by many the most consistently excellent wine of Vosne- Romanée. The complex geology of this site encompasses a number of different soil structures including decomposed limestone of the lower Bathonian period, pebble and limestone debris, and clay soil mixed with fossilized oyster deposits. This unique feature combined with the breadth of altitudes covered by the vineyard makes it an exquisite synthesis of Vosnee- Romanée. Richebourg Like many of the other vineyards in Vosne-Romanée, Richebourg originally belonged to the monastery of Citeaux. Today it is shared by a small handful of the region's best proprietors, with the largest holding belonging to the renowned Domaine de la Romanée -Conti. The vines of Richebourg average 45 years in age with many dating back to the original replanting after the War. Each of the various factors which influence a wine's character and flavor unite flawlessly in the wines of Richebourg, which are celebrated as sumptuous, opulent, and marvelously enduring. Indeed, it is unquestionably the greatest non-monopoly grand cru of Vosne Romanée-Saint-Vivant When it comes to sheer finesse, perfume, elegance and delicacy, few wines can equal a great Romanée-Saint-Vivant. The history of the vineyard dates back to the Thirteenth century, when Alix de Vergy reputedly gifted the vineyard to the Priory of St. Vivant and the Benedictines. Situated east of the boundary formed by La Romanée-Conti and Les Richebourgs, Romanée-Saint-Vivant's dazzling wines gracefully take their place among the greatest in the world. Grands Echezeaux Great indeed, the wines of Grands Echezeaux are a thing of beauty, combing power with unadorned concentration that is smooth and never coarse. Lying directly to the west of Clos de Vougeot, the wines produced in this appellation are highly characterized by their longevity. For those who appreciate nuance, these are wines of glorious shades.
