The Domaine’s co-directors are Bertrand de Villaine, nephew of Aubert de Villaine, and Perrine Fenal, daughter of Lalou Bize-Leroy. There are nine grand cru vineyards. In addition, a Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru is released in certain years, made from voluntarily declassified grapes. Corney & Barrow has been the Domaine’s exclusive UK agent since 1991. The red grands crus are Corton, Échézeaux, Grands Échézeaux, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Richebourg and two ‘monopoles’, solely owned by the domaine — La Tâche and Romanée-Conti. The grands crus Chardonnay sites are Corton-Charlemagne and Montrachet.

Following the confiscation of the vineyards of the Prince de Conti during the French Revolution, the domaine was acquired by Monsieur Duvault-Blochet in 1869. La Tâche was bought in 1933. Romanée-Saint-Vivant was managed from 1966 and purchased outright in 1988.

In addition to owning the vineyards of La Romanée-Conti and La Tâche in their entirety, the domaine owns half of Richebourg, over half of Romanée-Saint-Vivant, a third of Grands Échézeaux and a seventh of Échézeaux.

Corton-Charlemagne was added to the line-up in the 2019 vintage. Made from vines leased from Domaine Bonneau du Martray, this sits alongside the red Corton, which has been produced since the 2009 vintage.
