Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or DRC as it is commonly known is easily Burgundy's best-known and most collectible wine producer. Based in the Burgundy village of Vosne-Romanée the domaine makes wines from eight different grand cru vineyards that span the length of the Côte d'Or. The most famous comes from the eponymous Romanée-Conti vineyard and on average is the most expensive wine in the world. DRC's seven grand cru wines are a familiar label on the world auction scene and are notable for the high prices they regularly fetch particularly the Romanée-Conti."

This is more restrained still though aggressive swirling eventually coaxes the gorgeously broad-ranging nose to reveal an even more floral and spicier mélange of red and dark currant, Asian-style tea, anise, clove, cinnamon and sandalwood scents. The equally pure, naturally sweet, precise and beautifully detailed medium-bodied flavors maintain their focus from the mid-palate to the dazzlingly long and palate staining linear finish that just goes on and on. However, as silky as the palate impression is, there is plenty of supporting structure and this too is going to require a long snooze in a cold cellar before it will be completely ready for prime time. Textbook RSV.

The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2015 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru was showing superbly from bottle bursting from the glass with a dramatic and expressive bouquet of rose petal violet raspberry and spicy red cherry that has already digested its framing of new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied expansive and supple its frame of fine-grained tannins cloaked in a deep core of vibrant fruit and only asserting themselves on the long penetrating finish. This is a superb Romanée-St-Vivant that nips on the heels of the fabulous Richebourg this year. Cropped at 26 hectoliters per hectare and harvested September 9 10 and 11.
