Domaine de la Romanée Conti is co-owned by the de Villaine and Leroy/Roch families, the former successors to Jacques-Marie Duvault Blochet who bought the vineyard of La Romanée Conti in 1869, the latter since acquiring the shares of other descendants of Duvault-Blochet in 1942. The Domaine is today run by Aubert de Villaine and Henri-Frederic Roch. Many people in Burgundy just refer to ‘DRC’ as “the Domaine”.
The domaine has 30 hectares of vineyards, all Grand Crus. As well as the the 1.8 hectare monopole La Romanée Conti, the Domaine purchased its other monopoly, La Tâche, in 1933, along with significant holdings in the grand crus of Richebourg, Romanée St Vivant, Grands-Echezeaux, Echezeaux, and Le Montrachet at various points in the 19th and 20th centuries. Corton was added in 2009 with Corton-Charlemagne to be released in 2018. The Domaine is the largest owners of each of the red wine grand crus.
DRC Marc de Bourgogne 2002 is a vintage eau-de-vie produced in the Burgundy region of France. The legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti not only crafts the world`s most coveted Pinot noir but also produces an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after Marc de Bourgogne. Derived from the residual wine and grape skins, this exquisite brandy from the 2002 vintage underwent a meticulous distillation process. The liquid was then carefully aged for close to two decades in oak casks, resulting in a truly remarkable spirit. Bottled in 2009
