Wine of the Day: Domaine Romanée-Conti Pinot Noir

Domaine Romanée-Conti


Domaine Romanée-Conti Pinot Noir

WINERY:
DRC

DESCRIPTION:
One of the finest wines from one of the finest winemakers in the world.

The Domaine has its private supply of oak from the Troncais forests. 100% new oak is used and maturation time depends on the quality of the vintage.

There is no filtration and if racking off the lees is required this is done by gravity from cask to cask, never pumped. If the wines need to be fined, then fresh eggs are used. The wines spend sixteen to twenty months in wood before bottling. Both assemblage and bottling are done by gravity and usually cask by cask.
