2022 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Corton Grand Cru

The 2022 vintage was a year of "beauty and abundance" in Burgundy. Harvested early (starting August 30), this wine is a blend from three legendary Corton lieux-dits: Clos du Roi, Bressandes, and Renardes. The 2022 is particularly exuberant, offering a rich core of dark plum, wild strawberry, and black cherry, framed by exotic spices and creamy new oak. It is a powerful, resonant wine that manages to maintain the signature DRC grace.
