The Domaine is today run by Aubert de Villaine. Many people in Burgundy just refer to 'DRC' as \"the Domaine\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Domaine has 25 hectares of vineyards, all Grand Crus. As well as the 1.8-hectare monopole La Romanée Conti, the Domaine purchased its other monopole, La Tâche, in 1933, along with significant holdings in the grand crus of Richebourg, Romanée-St-Vivant, Grands Échezeaux, Échezeaux, and Le Montrachet at various points in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Domaine is the largest owner of each of the red wine grand crus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wines are made by Alexandre Bernier, in succession to Bernard Noblet. Whole clusters are used (no destemming) with a long vatting time to avoid excesses of heat. 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. Ancestor Jacques-Marie Duvault-Blochet was an advocate of harvesting late in order to ensure optimum ripeness, a philosophy to which his descendants adhere today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Romanee-Conti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45629961470200,"sku":"11510","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2712\/5752\/files\/005-no-vintage.png?v=1737980151","url":"https:\/\/checkout.reservecellar.com.au\/products\/domaine-de-la-romanee-conti-romanee-saint-vivant-2020","provider":"Reserve Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
