Producer Information

Domaine de la Romane-Conti, one of Burgundy’s most important estates, has signed a lease agreement with Domaine Prince Florent de Mrode for almost 6 acres of vineyards on the hillside of Corton and will produce three grands crus red wines from the parcels.The trio of Cortons will be the first red wines DRC produces from the Cte de Beaune. The famed producer is based in Vosne-Romane in Cte de Nuits and owns land in that commune and the adjoining village of Flagey-Echzeaux. It does produce a white from Cte de Beaune, from a small amount of land in Montrachet.Under the agreement, DRC will add nearly 3 acres of Corton Bressandes, 1.4 acres of Corton Clos du Roi and 1.26 acres of Corton Les Renardes to its 61.75 acres of prime grands crus vineyards.”When Prince and Princess de Mrode, whom I knew, died six months apart, their children contacted us and offered to lease three grands crus they own in Corton,” said DRC codirector Aubert de Villaine. “These vineyards are situated in the heart of the historic part of the appellation with a good proportion of old vines. These two factors give a high potential to produce great wines.”
