Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is Burgundy's most famous estate, making tiny quantities of wine from some of France's most sought-after vineyards. Romanée-St-Vivant is one of those plots; the Marey-Monge designation on older bottles marks the family who owned the land before DRC took over farming in the 1960s.
