ROBERT PARKER ” There are more startling complexities in the 2005 Romanee-Conti than in any other wine here today, perhaps in the vintage. A stunning, high-toned and utterly unique perfume of pink grapefruit, blood orange, tangerine rind, vivid rose petal, musk, cinnamon, sage, and cassis seduces the olfactors in kaleidoscopic rotation. I hesitate to court sacrilege or ridicule with Germanic allusions but it is impossible not to imagine a great Pinot scented with Gewurztraminer and Scheurebe. On the palate, a pure, clean meatiness emerges, like butchering a meadow-fed lamb, bitter-sweet flowers flying forth in an inner-mouth profusion. Soy and black truffle lend a dark, savory note to the proceedings, leading the long finishing procession over a path strewn with rose petals. Fear not: despite its silken texture, there are abundant tannins woven into this amazing tapestry as well, and I am sure those lucky enough to own some can retain it as collateral, then leave it to their children, safe in the knowledge it has not decayed. Reverential drinking after a dozen or more years would, however, be my preference. Once the grapes in these fabled vineyards had reached a potential alcohol of 13%, reports Aubert de Villaine, he was ready to pick, because conditions had seldom been so conducive to perfect ripeness (including that of the stems). It was all done in a week, commencing with La Tache and Romanee Conti, and finishing on September 23 with Romanee-St.-Vivant (and Montrachet, on which I shall report at a future date). De Villaine intended to bottle in March or April by gravity in six-barrel lots, as has become general practice here over the past decade. “

Legendary Burgundy Excellence
From the legendary cellars of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC), the Romanee-Conti Grand Cru 2005 epitomizes exceptional Burgundy craftsmanship and rarity. This single vineyard wine, hailing from the Côte de Nuits region of France, represents one of the most coveted Grand Cru labels worldwide with extremely limited production. With only a few thousand bottles produced in 2005, it offers discerning collectors an exclusive opportunity to acquire an investment-grade vintage steeped in heritage and prestige. This 0.75L magnum stands as a testament to DRC’s unparalleled commitment to quality and historic reputation.
Exceptional Craftsmanship & Quality
Expertly cultivated in the premier Romanee-Conti vineyard, this Grand Cru 2005 benefits from biodynamic farming practices and meticulous hand-harvesting, ensuring the highest grape quality. The wine is aged in 100% French oak barrels for around 18 months, imparting refined complexity and balance.

For collectors, its provenance coupled with meticulous production offers rare preservation potential and future appreciation, making it a prized addition to elite cellars.
Unparalleled Heritage & Investment Value
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti stands as one of Burgundy’s most revered estates, with a legacy tracing back centuries. The 2005 vintage, noted for its exceptional growing conditions, is particularly sought after by connoisseurs and investors alike.
Production was strictly limited, with fewer than 4,000 bottles, enhancing its rarity and desirability on the secondary market. Its consistent high scores from leading critics bolster its position as a blue-chip collectible, promising sustainable value growth and prestige in any fine wine collection.
Exquisite Tasting Experience
The 2005 Romanee-Conti Grand Cru unfolds with a captivating bouquet of ripe cherries, wild berries, and subtle hints of violet and earth. On the palate, it reveals layers of blackberry, plum, and delicate spices, framed by polished tannins and bright acidity. The finish is lingering and complex, inviting slow savoring.
For optimal experience, decanting for at least an hour is recommended and serving at 16–18°C.

Proper cellar storage at consistent 12–14°C with controlled humidity guarantees preservation of its exceptional qualities.
