Collecting: Domaine de la Romanee-Conti in the spotlight
Article Abstract:
Domaine de la Romanee-Conti (DRC) wines, which experience an exalted stature among Burgundies, are habitual top-scorers at tastings and achieve spectacular prices at auction, including the highest sum ever paid for a case of wine at auction. The DRC wines make great drinking, and are more expensive than other Burgundies, although they provide a consistent return as an investment.
