Kloktober Day 1

Favorite Character or OTP

My favorite character is half of my OTP, so both!

Pairing: Relish! Which is Pickles the Drummer and Olive Axworthy, my OC. get it, because pickle and olive relish, hahaha

Rating: SFW, only mildly suggestive moments

Summary: Pickles makes a miscalculation when planning a date with Olive. Luckily, he thinks of a better plan, and so they ditch the fancy restaurant they both hated to relocate.

What a perfect night for a cemetery date.

.

It was beautiful.

Glittering crystal chandeliers, polished marble floors, spotless white tablecloths, and a bouquet of fresh flowers in the center of their private, tucked away table with a gorgeous view of the city, shielded by a wall of live greenery.

It was beautiful.

And Olive looked absolutely miserable. 

Gorgeous, in a black velvet dress that slit up to her hip and gave her immaculate cleavage, showing off both her sleeve and thigh tattoo. Her wild curls were more tamed than usual, her makeup dark and stunning. Around her neck hung the anatomically correct heart pendant he gifted her. Silver glinted from each of her ear piercings, bracelets dangled from her wrists, rings covered her fingers, her nails shone black and pointed.

She was gorgeous, stunning, breathtaking… but still miserable, all the same. 

As Olive finished the last bite of her dessert, Pickles gulped down the rest of his wine, bracing himself. 

"Everythin' okee, babe?"

Dark eyes flit up to meet green, and she shrugged. 

"Yeah. Everything's fine."

The raising of a single pierced brow was all it took, and she sighed, teething at her tongue ring.

"It's just. Y'know…." she gestured around with her eyes.

"What?"

“This place, it’s just…”

“Yeah?”

“...fancy.”

“Is dat a bad thing?”

Olive shrugged, “I mean, like, objectively, no.”

“Okee… And, uh, not objectively?”

“Subjectively?” sighing, she chewed at her lip, glancing around, “It’s just. Not really my thing.”

Pickles nodded, staring at her as he considered how to turn this date around. Where could they go now that she would like? Hell, where did she even like to go? It was too late for a museum or a bookstore, they were too dressed up to go break into some abandoned building or walk in a park. Where was he gonna take her, a fucking mausoleum?

Oh. 

Duh.

Grin curling up his lips, Pickles stood, carelessly tossing some cash from his wallet down onto the table, "Well what the hell're we doin' here, den? Let's get outta this place."

Smiling, Olive placed her hand in his offered one, standing to follow him to the limo. She snorted when Pickles insisted on opening the door for her, but thanked him anyway, waiting inside as he whispered something to the driver before joining her. The ride was largely uneventful, save for Pickles slipping down the straps of Olive's dress to snort a line or two or five off her tits. 

When it finally rolled to a stop, Olive pried her lips from Pickles', peering out the tinted windows as a large grin took over her face. As she turned back to him, dark eyes sparkling, face lit up in childish delight, and asked "Really?!" with more excitement in her voice than he had ever heard, Pickles felt his stomach flip, heat rushing to his face as his mouth went dry. 

"Y-yeah, dood."

Lips pressed to his cheek in a soft, sweet kiss, and Olive bumped the tip of her nose to his.

"Thank you."

Before he had a chance to respond, she gripped his hand and nearly drug him from the limo, but Pickles managed to grab the doorframe, stopping just in time.

"Whoah, dood, hang ahn! Jeezus, the skeletons aren't going anywhere!"

Pickles rummaged back inside, Olive pulling a face when he returned, a pierced brow raising in question.

"What?"

"Is there anything other than champagne?"

Pickles gave her an incredulous look. 

"...yew don't like champagne?"

"No."

"...okee. Well, there's a '78 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino or a '96 Domaine Leroy Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru in dere, too, if yah want one of those instead."

"I have no idea what that means."

Pickles grinned at her blank face, "Ones a barolo, ones a pinot noir."

"...I still don't know what that means. It's just wine. Whatever is fine, it all tastes the same, anyway."

The grin fell from his face at her words, replaced with an expression of shock, disbelief, and mild horror.

"Babe, yew… yew don't actually mean dat, right?"

Olive shrugged. 

"Yeah. I mean, aside from the color difference, it all just tastes like wine."

Shell shocked, Pickles swapped the bottle of champagne out for the ten-thousand dollar bottle of wine, the knowledge that it would be absolutely wasted on her beginning to set in. 

It just tastes like wine. 

Jesus Christ. 

He needed to take her to a wine tasting yesterday.

Shaking it off, Pickles slung his arm over Olive's shoulders as they walked through the gates of the cemetery, glancing around at the fog hanging low on the ground, the murder of crows cawing and pecking amongst the headstones nearby as they meandered along the path, the clack of Olive's heels loud in the chilled air. A gentle breeze sent her curls dancing, swaying and rustling the leaves left clinging on the skeletons of trees, an owl hooting somewhere off in the distance.

What a perfect night for a cemetery date. 

The moon shone bright behind the sparse, wispy clouds, lighting up her face, her happy, relaxed expression such a stark contrast to the one worn at dinner he could hardly reconcile the two.

"Wanna know somethin'?"

"Hm?"

Pickles leaned in close, whispering, "I fuckin' hate fancy restaurants, too."

Olive laughed, loud and sudden and so hard she snorted, slapping a hand over her mouth as Pickles laughed at her, the both continuing to giggle at each other as the conversation continued.

"Then why did we go!"

"I don't know, dood! A fancy dinner, dats, like, the date!"

"Yeah, but it sucks!"

"Yer tellin' me! Gahd, got all dressed up in dis stupid suit fer nothin'."

Pickles tugged at his already loosened tie as Olive laughed harder, unbuttoning the top few buttons of his shirt

"Yew look hot as hell, though. 'least dere's dat."

Heat flushed to her face at the compliment, and she smiled, biting her lip as Pickles grinned his crooked grin at her.

"Oh, hey," Pickles grabbed her elbow, steering her to the side, "We're here."

Raising a brow as Pickles veered off path, Olive pauses to slip off her heels before following him barefoot amongst the graves, the ground cold and dew-damp on her feet. At the base of a tall, wide, old oak tree, Pickles plopped down in the grass, half-sitting half-laying against it's base.

Grinning up at her, he pat his lap in invitation, "Saved a seat jest fer yew, baby. Best one in da whole house."

Her deadpan made him laugh, and Olive rolled her eyes with a fond smile before dropping down. Freckled arms wrapped securely around her as she curled up in his lap, finger tips ghosting along her arm to raise goosebumps.

The two passed the bottle of wine back and forth, chatting here and there.

"Hey."

Lifting her head from his chest, Olive was met with lips on hers, tasting of wine and weed and cigarettes. His hand gently cupped her face, thumb caressing over her cheek as their lips met time and again, Pickles relishing the way Olive melted into him more and more with each press.

Parting his lips from her was no easy feat - it never was -  but Pickles managed, bumping their noses as his eyes sought Olive's in the moonlight. Their breaths puffed and mixed between them, curls scented of wine forming to dance on the crisp night air. 

Mouth curling into a crooked grin, Pickles kissed over to her ear and nipped, facial hair tickling with his next words, "Heh. Wanna go fuck ahn a grave?"

.

To be continued ;)

Maison Louis Jadot, Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru 1991

Ruby. The bouquet is silken, continuous, reaches out with sweet-toned maturity. A grilled aspect, rose flowers with air, old books, first flush darjeeling, leather, a murmur of fig. The palate starts still on its RSV dust, has a smoky, upright run, good mid-palate fruit strike of blackberry and Vosne spice. The length is still fine plus, it closes on mineral-floral grip, and the balance is primo.…

Vosne Romanee Wine

Vosne Romanee Wine đã trở thành một trong những vùng sản xuất rượu vang danh giá nhất thế giới từ những gì nó đạt được trong quá khứ. Xã Vosne Romanee xinh đẹp có những vùng đất trồng nho rất đặc biệt với lịch sử sản xuất rượu vang hàng thế kỷ bên cạnh nó. Nơi đây được coi là “viên ngọc trai” của Burgundy và nổi tiếng với những vườn nho đạt phân hạng Grand Cru tuyệt vời.

Đôi nét về vùng Vosne Romanee Wine Vosne Romanée là một xã nhỏ ở quận Cote de Nuits của Burgundy, nó được biết đến chủ yếu với rượu vang đỏ từ giống nho Pinot Noir. Ban đầu chỉ được đặt tên là Vosne, ngôi làng lấy tên hậu tố “Romanee” vào năm 1866 để vinh danh vườn nho La Romanee được đánh giá cao nhất của nó.

Nó thường được gộp chung lại với xã lân cận Flagey Echezeaux do vị trí rất gần nhau, trong khi các ngôi làng hoàn toàn tách biệt. Những vườn nho tốt nhất của họ được tập trung lại với nhau ngay phía Bắc Vosne-Romanee.

Vùng Vosne Romanee Wine đã từng là một nguồn cung cấp rượu vang chất lượng được biết đến trong hơn một nghìn năm, kể từ khi các tu sĩ của tu viện Saint-Vivant đến vùng đất này. Ngày nay, nó hầu như chỉ sản xuất rượu vang từ Pinot Noir. Vùng này cũng có tới 15% các giống trắng địa phương được cho phép để tạo ra các chủng loại nho mới và các hương vị khác lạ trong rượu vang.

Hương vị đặc trưng Vosne Romanee Wine Sắc đỏ của Vosne Romanee Wine thay đổi từ màu hồng ngọc thuần khiết đến màu tulip đen và thường khá đậm đà. Vào những thời điểm khác nhau, rượu vang có thể có màu đỏ sậm, trái cây chín cùng với các loại gia vị thường là các điểm nhấn chính trong hương vị.

Chất tannin mạnh mẽ nhưng vẫn có kết cấu mượt mà hoàn hảo rất phù hợp với các loại thịt giàu Protein. Những loại pho mát đậm đà như Epoisses (1 loại phô mai Pháp) cũng có thể hoàn toàn phù hợp với rượu vang Vosne Romanee cá tính.

Địa hình vùng trồng nho ở Vosne Romanee Wine

Các vườn nho có xu hướng mở rộng ra theo mọi hướng, có độ cao từ 235 đến 350 mét so với mực nước biển. Những công nhân ở đây chọn những sườn dốc có nhiều ánh sáng mặt trời nhất cho những cây nho của họ.

Gần về phía đáy, phần đất của các con dốc này càng mỏng và không thể tăng thêm bất kì sự hữu ích nào cho cây nho. Trên phía cao hơn, đất dày lên và có khí hậu lạnh có nhiều khả năng cản trở độ chín của nho. Vùng chính giữa của con dốc được coi như phù hợp nhất cho những cây nho ngon nhất.

Các loại đất sét, đất đá vôi mỏng thoát nước tốt và phía trên cùng là lớp đá cuội, tất cả những loại đất đó có mặt trên những vườn nho của Vosne Romanee Wine.

6 vườn nho Grand Cru Vosne Romanee Wine Vùng diện tích trồng nho rộng khoảng 27 héc ta, nơi này được chia thành 6 khu vực nhỏ hơn và riêng biệt như: La Grand Rue, La Tache, Richebourg, La Romanee, Romanee Saint Vivant và nổi bật nhất là Romanee Conti. Tuy diện tích nơi đây khá nhỏ nhưng rượu vang cấp độ Grand Cru nơi này lại được đánh giá cao và giá thành tương đối đắt.

Ngoài 6 vườn nho Grand Cru này, Vosne Romanee Wine còn có 15 vườn nho Premier Cru ở cả 2 xã Vosne Romanee và Flagey Echezeaux. Giống nho Pinot Noir là giống nho chính trong hầu hết tất cả các vườn nho Grand Cru và Premier Cru.

A família DRC é sempre cobiçada em seus seis Grands Crus de Vosne-Romanée com vinhedos contíguos com cerca de 25 hectares no total. O centro gravitacional de todos eles é o mítico Romanée-Conti, um Monopole de 1,8 hectare. O outro Monopole é La Tache, de área bem maior, mas igualmente divino. Os demais Grands Crus dividem com outros produtores o espaço de suas respectivas apelações, embora sempre com amplo destaque.

os melhores vinhedos em grandes safras

Num ato de imensa generosidade, nosso Presidente abriu sua adega pensando no melhor, e dividindo entre amigos sua seleta coleção DRC com seu astro maior, sua Majestade Romanée-Conti em três grandes safras. Além disso, safras que permitem comprovar a imensa longevidade destes vinhos, ainda num estágio inicial de evolução, longe de sua fase final de total esplendor.

Em sua retaguarda, as três joias foram escoltadas por duas grandes safras de dois de seus familiares, La Tache 1990 e o lendário Romanée-St-Vivant 1978. A sublimação da Pinot Noir foi alcançada em aromas e sabores multifacetados.

um dos grandes Meursaults de Lafon

Iniciando os trabalhos, um belo Meursault do Domaine Lafon em seu vinhedo Charmes. Safra gloriosa com muita fruta e generosidade. Apenas 1,71 hectare de puro “charme”. A textura clássica dos brancos desta apelação num balanço muito bom de acidez. Um toque cítrico de limão siciliano sensacional. Fico na dúvida se vale a pena envelhece-lo, pois está arrasador. Acompanhou bem os pratos de entrada, inclusive esta sublime burrata. O almoço transcorreu no Nino Cucina.

texturas bem harmonizadas

Antes de entrarmos nas três joias, vamos falar deste sublime La Tache 1990. Servido às cegas com os três Romanée-Conti, foi fácil identifica-lo por sua riqueza aromática e sua textura mais ampla em boca. Um vinho suntuoso com todos os predicados de Vosne-Romanée. Os toques de especiarias, sous-bois, chocolate amargo (cacau), e algo de incenso, permeavam a taça. Embora já delicioso, deve evoluir por algumas décadas, pois seu extrato é fabuloso. Persistência aromática ampla.

a tríplice coroa

Aqui um embate de gigantes, mostrando que Romanée-Conti é vinho para várias décadas de envelhecimento. Todos pareciam ainda muito jovens, como muita fruta, sem nenhum sinal de decadência. Os aromas de cerejas negras, flores, alca��uz, café, variavam de um para outro de forma cíclica, sempre crescendo na taça. O 88 era o mais pronto e o mais delicado, contrariando as características da safra. Taninos delicados, menos encorpado, embora esta leveza seja uma característica intrínseca deste vinho. Já o 89 parecia ser o menos pronto, taninos ainda firmes e abundantes. Tinha um certo ar masculino, mas sempre mantendo a sutileza. Por fim o 90 parecia mais perto da perfeição. Uma sutileza, uma delicadeza, mas ao mesmo tempo uma força e profundidade extraordinárias. Enfim, Romanée-Conti é sempre um vinho enigmático que caminha no lado da sutileza e elegância, e nunca no caminho da força e da potência. Mesmo em safras não tão badaladas são necessários pelo menos vinte anos para poder avalia-lo com algum critério. 

Saint-Vivant e as trufas

Para finalizar a sequência de grandes vinhos, só mesmo um exceção poderia fazer frente ao trio de ouro degustado. Para isso, entra em cena o espetacular DRC Romanée-St-Vivant 1978, um ano histórico na Borgonha. E de fato, a taça mostra todo este deslumbramento. Esse sim, no ponto de ser bebido, no auge de seus 40 anos. Os terciários explodem na taça sem perder a riqueza de fruta no conjunto. Rosas, especiarias, toques empireumáticos, e uma elegância sem fim. Um dos vinhos mais perfeitos de todos os tempos. Não é a toa que o mestre Henri Jayer coloca seu Richebourg 78 como o vinho perfeito. Com esta massa com trufas ficou realmente divino. Belo fecho de almoço!

ainda no berçário

Outro branco que deve envelhecer por décadas, mas está delicioso no momento. Com 144 g/l de açúcar residual e um teor álcool de 13,9° graus, perfeitamente balanceados por uma acidez tartárica de 6 g/l, este Yquem fornece elegância e frescor admiráveis. Não tem a untuosidade do mítico Yquem 2001, também 100 pontos, mas esbanja vivacidade e juventude. Neste momento, deve acompanhar bem uma mousse de maracujá ou um sorvete de natas. Apogeu previsto para 2065. 

Mais um almoço glorioso com tintos sublimes da Borgonha em safras magníficas. Novamente, agradecimentos profundos ao nosso Presidente que soube como ninguém conduzir esta degustação com vinhos em grande momento de evolução, num ato de imensa generosidade. Que Bacco nos ilumine sempre nestes caminhos!

Romanée-Conti e seus súditos A família DRC é sempre cobiçada em seus seis Grands Crus de Vosne-Romanée com vinhedos contíguos com cerca de 25 hectares no total.

I got a Care Package for Zariel {Imagine that}; Vintage Wine, A tiny novelty kings crown and a box of Chocolate covered Strawberries. 🎁

“Let’s see, some vintage wine.” He takes the bottle out of the box to inspect it. “Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, truly a good choice in vintage; especially a red.” He set it down on the table with a faint smile. “A novelty kings crown.” His face returned to a blank impression. “I don’t know if this is mocking or not, but from the wine ill assume it is in good faith.” He places it over one of his horns so it tilts off slightly. “And finally a-” Zariel opens the box to find the chocolate covered strawberries which caused him to pause. “Is this a get in the mood kit? I mean some lovely wine, Chocolate covered strawberries, and.” He takes off the crown to look at it. “I’m guessing a crown for roleplay? Honestly I don’t know how to feel about this. He thinks for a moment. “But I think I like it.”

‘ even though we keep missing one another, I hope buying chuuya an appreciation gift isn't too much trouble? you've been nothing but nice a-and even offered to teach me self-defense! ’ it's clumsily wrapped, however, there's clear effort in making it presentable. chuuya receives a bottle of Romanée-Saint-Vivant!

December is, both fortunately and unfortunately, a very busy season. Chuuya had been meaning to meet up with Micah for a lunch date, but between his work at Angel’s Trumpet and Micah’s work at the hospital, neither of them had been able to set a solid date.

So, when he opens his door lazily, small surprise crosses his face with his eyes wide when his friends stands outside with gift in hand.

“…Micah?” he calls. A moment passes, and his expression melts into a warm smile, taking the gift in one hand.

“You’re never too much trouble, don’t worry about it. I got something for you, as well, but the shop’s putting the finishing touches on it…” Another smile, this time conspiring! He seems a bit proud of his gift idea, but trails off before he can give away anymore details and shakes his head lightly.

 “Did you want to come in? I think I’ve got some of the tea from Fortunitea if you’re thirsty.”

107 – DICCIONARIO DE ENOLOGÍA -

DOMAINE BILLAUD-SIMON. Borgoña, Chablis – Francia.Vinos: Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis Tête d’Or; Chablis Premier Cru: Fourchaume, Mont de Milieu, Montée de Tonnerre; Chablis Grand Cru : Blanchots, Les Los, Les Preuses, Vaudésir. Los vinos de las cepas viejas de Mont de Milieu y Blanchot maduran en madera y subrayan los aspectos nerviosos y cristalinos del chablis. Incluso el petit chablis es de calidad.

DOMAINE BOTT-GEYL. Alsacia, Beblenheim – Francia. Vinos: Gewürztraminer Sonnenglanz, Riesling Schoenenbourg, Gewürztraminer Furstentum, Muscat, Pinot Gris. Jean-Christophe Bott es uno de los renovadores de la viticultura alsaciana. Introdujo la reducción de rendimientos, el prensado cuidadoso y la maduración larga sobre levaduras finas. Resultado: los vinos de Bott son concentrados sin resultar rústicos.

DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER. Bodega Francesa, ubicada en Burdeos, Graves. Fue creado en 1770, elaborado dos de los mejores vinos de esa región. El vino tinto es elegante y potente, posee aroma frutal con notas de madera. El blanco es fino, delicado y amplio, merece envejecer por lo menos 8 años en botella. La cosecha de uva blanca se fermenta en madera y luego permanece en barrica durante 18 meses. Tanto los vinos tintos y blancos, tiene suficiente concentración para poder envejecer durante decenios.

DOMAINE DE LA ROMANÉE-CONTI. Bodega Francesa, ubicada en Borgoña, Côte D’or en el pueblo de Côte de Nuits. Propietario exclusivo de la Romanée-Conti y la Tâche, y principal propietario de Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Grands Échezeaux y Échezeaux, el Domaine podría ser famoso simplemente por sus grand crus que posee. Tiene un estilo de vinificación propio; vendimias tardías de uvas maduras, rendimientos bajos, fermentaciones largas y cálidas, permanencia de 18 meses en barricas de roble nuevo y filtrado mínimo. La producción limitada y unos precios merecidamente altos, hacen que estos vinos sean difíciles de hallar.

DOMAINE DE LA VIEILLE JULIENNE. Chateauneuf Du Pape 1995. Es todo perfume, con sabores a cereza. Los taninos están presentes pero no son muy fuertes. Es agradable y texturado, con gran cuerpo. Ideal para acompañar carnes y quesos de cierta madurez como el Manchego. Es un vino listo para beber.

DOMAINE GROSSOT. Borgoña, Fleys – Francia. Vinos: Chablis ; Chablis Premier Cru: Côte de Troems, Fourchaume, Les Fourneaux.

DOMAINE JEAN DEFAIX. Chablis 1996. Para los blancos de Borgoña el año 1996 ha sido un año extraordinario. Se dice que nunca antes la tierra ha transmitido tanto carácter. Es un vino de color pálido y aroma fresco y fino. Se puede guardar hasta dos años. Además de los pescados, acompaña también salsas ligeras y pollo. Debe tomarse fresco, a una temperatura promedio de 12°C. Nunca helado.

DOMAINE JULIEN MEYER. Alsacia, Nothalten – Francia. Vinos: Riesling Muenchberg, Gewürztraminer Cuvée des Pucelles, Sylvaner Zellberg, Pinot, Crémant. Aquí se experimenta con la transformación ácida biológica, el almacenamiento en barrica e incluso renuncia al filtrado.

DOMAINE MURE. Grand Cru Vorbourg Gewurztraminer Alsace 1995. Es un vino afrutado, con reminiscencia a cítricos, melocotones y duraznos. Buena y balanceada acidez. Es moderadamente dulce. Puede tomarse como un delicioso aperitivo o con postres delicadamente dulces.

DOMAINE PAUL BLANCK. Alsacia, Kientzheim – Francia. Vinos: Riesling Schlossberg, Riesling Furstentum, Pinot Gris Furstentum, Gewürztraminer Furstentum Vendanges tardives, Sélections de grains nobles, Pinot “F”, Sylvaner. Las típicas botellas esbeltas muy pocas veces contienen un vino que no sea sobresaliente. Fréderic y Philippe Blanck producen los riesling y gewürztraminer densos, nunca recargados, en tanques de acero.

DOMAINE PINSON. Premier Cru Mont de Milieu Chablis 1996. La característica principal de los vinos de Pinson es su intensidad y concentración, y se les reconoce por el modo clásico de su elaboración. Este viñedo produce algunos de los más excitantes vinos de la apelación. Usan pequeñas barricas de roble para añejar, manteniendo de este modo la frescura mineral de los grandes Chablis, sin alterar los sabores tradicionales, ganando así una mayor complejidad. Este vino está muy bien estructurado, es poderoso, con ricos tonos minerales y muy afrutado. Toda esta combinación ha hecho que algunos expertos lo consideren como el último clásico Chablis Premier Cru. La concentración y acidez muy balanceadas le permitirán envejecer bien en botella por algunos años más.

Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron, Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru 1990

Ruby. It has a round, shapely nose that flirts with forested notes. It shows a rich, ripe core of plum tart, luxardo cherry, Vosne spices, anise, has an appealing pistachio nuttiness. The palate charts a similar course to the nose, has a rather sultry, soaked flavor, but the texture is rich, spherical, and its sap is good. It flirts with fungal notes, and has the flavor of fine morello cherry…

10 Things You Should Know About Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Arguably the world’s most important wine producer, in one of the most prestigious wine regions on the planet, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s bottles fetch unfathomable sums at auction.

The Burgundy producer (commonly referred to as simply “DRC”) is also among the world’s least accessible wineries. While all enthusiasts know of its fabled wines, very few will ever set eyes on a bottle, let alone taste one.

DRC produces between 6,000 and 8,000 cases annually. A search on wine tracking website Wine-Searcher.com shows the average price of “entry-level” Corton Grand Cru to be $1,878, while the legendary Romaneé-Conti Grand Cru averages $20,187 a bottle.

Of course, it’s not all quality fruit and investment-worthy bottles. From selfish princes, to multiple criminal plots, here are 10 things you should know about Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

DRC releases eight different wines from eight different vineyards.

Unlike regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy’s vineyards are commonly owned by multiple producers. In instances where wineries own an entire plot, the vineyards are called “monopoles.”

DRC owns two monopoles, Romanée-Conti and La Tâche. Both are planted entirely with Pinot Noir vines and considered among the best sites in Burgundy. DRC releases individual bottlings from these plots, as well as the six other vineyards it partially owns or leases. These include Richebourg, Romanée-St.-Vivant, Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux, and Corton. DRC also owns a tiny section of the Montrachet vineyard, from which it releases a white (Chardonnay) wine.

All eight of these vineyards are Grand Cru sites, Burgundy’s highest classification.

Romanée-Conti is the jewel in the property’s crown.

As Wine-Searcher’s figures suggest, the Romanée-Conti vineyard is thought to produce DRC’s best wines. The quality of the 4.47-acre plot was identified as far back as the 13th century, when monks of the Saint-Vivant abbey first planted vines here.

The vineyard’s ownership has changed hands multiple times over the years and was first given the name “La Romanée” by the Croonembourg family in the 17th century (no one knows why). In the 18th century, the vineyard passed into the hands of Louis François, the Prince of Conti, who added his title to the second part of its name (his reasoning seems a lot more transparent).

The Prince of Conti didn’t like sharing.

When he bought the prestigious vineyard in 1760, the Prince of Conti took all its wines off the market, hoarding every bottle for his personal consumption. Despite having a reputation for throwing lavish Parisian parties, the prince refused to share the wines from the Romanée-Conti vineyard with even his closest friends.

Like many jewels, Romanée-Conti was once the subject of an elaborate criminal plot.

In January 2010, DRC’s co-director Aubert de Villaine received an envelope containing a worrying ransom message: If he didn’t hand over a million euros (approximately $1.1 million), the sender would poison the vines of DRC’s most prized vineyard. The French authorities eventually caught Jacques Soltys, the small-time criminal behind the plot, in a sting operation.

Imitation isn’t always a form of flattery.

DRC has also been subject to a number of high-profile imitation conspiracies. The case of Rudy Kurniawan is arguably the most notable. The Indonesian fraudster gained the nickname “Dr. Conti” after his love of — and prolific production of — numerous bottles of counterfeit fine wines, including DRC. The tale was documented in the 2016 movie “Sour Grapes,” and Kurniawan is currently serving a 10-year sentence in a U.S. prison.

Romanée-Conti may be its most expensive, but it’s not DRC’s most exclusive wine.

That honor goes to its Bâtard-Montrachet whites. The domaine owns a mere 0.42 acre of this vineyard and produces just two barrels from the plot. All of which is consumed exclusively at the domaine.

Speaking of exclusive…

In October 2018, DRC (twice) smashed the world record for the most expensive bottle of wine, after two bottles of 1945 Romanée-Conti sold for $558,000 and $496,000 at a Sotheby’s New York auction. The bottles were two of only 600 produced by the domaine in 1945, a notoriously difficult, but highly celebrated vintage.

Its vineyards lie on a UNESCO world heritage site.

In July 2015, the United Nations’ cultural arm granted “World Heritage” status to the climats (vineyards) of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits regions. It followed a decade of research and lobbying lead by DRC co-director de Villaine.

“What is most important for me is that the people of Burgundy, especially the vignerons, be inspired by the ancient, precious, unique treasure they hold in their hands,” he said.

De Villaine hasn’t always been popular with his neighbors.

In 1976, de Villaine was one of the nine judges in the Judgment of Paris that saw California wines beat their French counterparts in a famous blind tasting. “Back home in Burgundy, I was considered a traitor,” he said in a 2015 interview with The New York Times. “But I was right. In the 1970s, we French thought we reigned supreme over the wine world. But much of our wine had become mediocre. This event gave us the kick in the pants we needed.”

Visiting the winery is, quite literally, a waste of time.

If you’re visiting Burgundy and are thinking of spontaneously dropping in on the property, don’t waste your time. The domaine only welcomes visitors with prior appointments, which it very rarely grants. Without one, you’ll find yourself waiting outside the property, on the ironically named rue du Temps Perdu (Street of Lost Time).
