About DRC

Considered the pinnacle of Burgundy, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti produces some of the world’s most revered wines from its tiny vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. Two of the Domaine’s seven Grand Cru vineyards - La Romanée-Conti and La Tâche - are monopoles (appellations entirely owned by the Domaine) and unarguably the greatest vineyards in Burgundy. Richebourg, Romanée-St.-Vivant, Grands-Echézeaux, Echézeaux, and Montrachet (in Chassagne) are also Grand Cru vineyards, yielding sublime wines that are among the most highly-sought, seductive and rarest in the world.

Richebourg

Located at the northern end of Vosne-Romanee, the Richebourg vineyard encompasses 19.8 acres. Of the twelve different parcel owners, the largest and most famous is Domaine de la Romanee Conti. Richebourg is known to produce wines of unmatched velvetiness and finesse.

Echezeaux

Echezeaux is the second largest of all the Burgundian Grand Cru vineyards encompassing a total of 93 acres in Flagey-Echezeaux. More than 80 parcel owners produce wine of varying quality, but none more renowned than that of DRC. The wines are light and incredibly refined.

Romanee-St.-Vivant

Romanee-Saint-Vivant is the largest of the five Grand Cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanee with a total size of 23 acres. The wines are known to be light and refined, but display that characteristic exotic spiciness found in all of DRC’s wines.

Vosne-Romanee, Premier Cru, Cuvee Duvalt Blochet

This declassified red, composed of grapes from all the DRC Grand Cru vineyards and reinforced by a vat of Richebourg, carries a village name, Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru. The grapes are picked during the second pass of the vineyards. This wine has only been produced in the blockbuster vintages of 1999 and 2002.

About Rousseau

Domaine Armand Rousseau grew from humble beginnings. Long being an estate that sold high quanties of bulk-wine, Armand Rousseau saw the future of single vineyard wines and invested a good part of his profits into buying highly esteemed grand-cru vineyards in the early 1900's. The original commitment has paid off. Of the 13 hectares, 8 of those are grand-cru vineyards and all located in Morey-St-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin. The average age of the vines is nearing 50 years old... only more great things to come.

Chambertin

Domaine Rousseau has a 2.15 ha holding in the famed Chambertin vineyard. These wines are known to be vigorous and firm with a liquorice characteristic and firm tannins.

Ruchottes-Chambertin, Clos des Ruchottes

The Clos des Ruchottes is a monopole wine from the Rousseau estate. The wine exubes a velvety elegance and unsurpassed finesse.

Clos de la Roche

Located in the heart of Morey-St.-Denis, the Clos de la Roche vineyard is known to produce wines of great length and concentration while having a great minerality and pure fruit aromas.

Gevrey-Chambertin

About Roumier

Domaine G. Roumier began as the heart and soul of Chambolle-Musigny, and later spread to Morey-St.-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin. No other wines of these appellations are made with such meticulous attention to every detail of the wine making process. Only after bio-dynamic cultivation, manual harvesting, and meticulous sorting and partial de-stemming do the grapes get perfectly paired with the oak barrels that best suit the individual qualities of the different vineyards.

Charmes-Chambertin

Ruchottes-Chambertin

Roumier's Ruchottes-Chambertin is very seldom seen in the United States. It appears under the Christophe Roumier label (as opposed to Domaine Georges Roumier), and is the product of a metayage agreement that Christophe has with a businessman who owns the parcel. Because there is so little Chambolle-Musigny "Les Amoureses", Bonnes-Mares and Musigny for thirsty clients in Europe, Roumier reserves the Ruchottes (and also a Charmes-Chambertin that is also sharecropped) for sale to private clients.

Morey-St.-Denis, Clos de la Bussiere

The red clay soil and stony subsoil of the premier cru Clos de la Bussiere vineyard produce a vigorous and rustic wine with wild aromas.

Chambolle-Musigny

Roumier’s clay and chalk rich 3.7 ha holding in Chambolle-Musigny produces supple and elegant wines.

Chambolle-Musigny, Les Cras

The premier cru Les Cras vineyard is a tiny 1.75 hectares. The marly soil produces an incredibly deep pinot noir.
