A Legacy Rooted in Terroir:
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or DRC as it is revered, sits at the pinnacle of Burgundy's winemaking pantheon. From its base in Vosne-Romanée, DRC paints a portrait of the Côte d'Or's finest terroirs through eight Grand Cru vineyards. Among these, Richebourg stands as a crown jewel, boasting a rich history and a character distinctly its own.

This wine is a symphony of contrasts, a harmonious melody of vibrant fruit and earthy complexities. On the nose, ripe cherry and plum mingle with hints of spice and forest floor, evoking the sun-kissed slopes and cool forest whispers of this Grand Cru.
