Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti Grand Cru 1995 | Burgundy

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

The 1995 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti Grand Cru presents in the glass as a mature garnet with an evolving brick rim, a hallmark of three decades of bottle age. The nose is supremely complex and multilayered, offering haunting aromas of dried rose petal and violet, wild strawberry confit, forest floor (sous bois), and a delicate thread of warming spice — cinnamon and exotic wood — woven through a mineral undercurrent. On the palate, the wine is extraordinary in its tension: silky, almost weightless in texture, with tannins that have fully integrated into a seamless structure.

The flavour profile evolves from vivid red berry and rosehip to deeper notes of truffle, dried herbs, and aged leather. The finish is immensely long, saline, and precisely mineral — lingering for minutes with extraordinary persistence. Born from the sole 1.8-hectare monopole vineyard at the heart of Vosne-Romanée, this bottle remains a monument to Burgundy’s finest terroir, and continues to hold its poise well into the late 2020s for those fortunate enough to still hold stock.

Food Pairing

The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti Grand Cru 1995 finds a sublime partner in roasted Bresse pigeon with morel mushrooms and a delicate jus — a classic Burgundian table that mirrors the wine’s earthy complexity and weightless red-fruit elegance. Equally compelling alongside a truffle-scented risotto or aged Époisses de Bourgogne, where the wine’s mineral length and silky texture achieve perfect harmony.
