Domaine Romanée Conti

The history and reverence that surrounds Domaine Romanee Conti dates back to 1131 when the Romans were producing wine from the Romanee Conti vineyard. By the 13th Century the monks of St. Vivant had acquired the vineyard, then known as Cros des Clous, from the Dukes of [Burgundy]. Centuries later in 1631 it was bought by the de Croonembourg family who renamed it Romanée and the Conti was added after Louis François de Bourbon, the Prince de Conti purchased the land in 1760. In 1869, Jacques-Marie Duvault, owner-grower, négociant and Conseiller-General of the Côte d'Or purchased the Romanee Conti vineyard and went on to build the Domaine we know today acquiring Domaine Romanee Conti vineyards in Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux and Richebourg.
