Domaine de la Romanée-Conti: The Crown Jewel of Burgundy at Gaston

At Gaston, we are honored to offer our guests the rare opportunity to experience wines from one of the most prestigious and sought-after wineries in the world—Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC). With a legacy that dates back centuries, DRC is synonymous with unparalleled quality, tradition, and exclusivity, producing wines that are revered by collectors and connoisseurs alike. Securing an allocation from this iconic estate is a privilege, and we take pride in sharing these extraordinary wines with our patrons.

A Legacy of Excellence

Located in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s vineyards are home to some of the most coveted plots in the world. The estate’s name itself is derived from its crown jewel, Romanée-Conti, a Grand Cru vineyard that produces arguably the finest Pinot Noir in existence. What sets DRC apart is not only the quality of its wines but the estate’s deep commitment to respecting the land, employing biodynamic farming practices that ensure the health and vitality of its exceptional terroir.

The domaine’s portfolio includes Grand Cru wines from some of Burgundy’s most legendary vineyards:

  • Romanée-Conti: The estate’s namesake and most famous wine, Romanée-Conti is a Grand Cru vineyard of just 1.8 hectares, producing wines that are renowned for their elegance, depth, and complexity. Each bottle is a masterpiece, offering a symphony of flavors that evolve beautifully over time.

  • La Tâche: Another monopole vineyard owned entirely by DRC, La Tâche is a Grand Cru that rivals Romanée-Conti in its richness and intensity, with a distinctive character that combines power and finesse.

  • Richebourg and Romanée-Saint-Vivant: These Grand Cru vineyards are known for producing wines that are vibrant, aromatic, and full of life, showcasing the purity and beauty of Pinot Noir at its finest.
