In 1760 Louis-François de Bourbon, Prince of Conti, bought the plot, then called La Romanée, and his name was later added to it. Sold at auction after the Revolution, the vineyard today forms a monopole of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Production is tiny, usually a few thousand bottles a year, and it varies a great deal with the vintage. The vineyard is part of the Climats of Burgundy, listed by UNESCO in 2015. Its fame has made the wine one of the most expensive in the world. In 2026 a single bottle of the 1945 vintage sold at auction in New York for 812,500 US dollars, a world record. ## What you will see From the vineyard lane you see the stone cross and the rows of Pinot Noir running up the slope. Around it lie other legendary grands crus, including La Tâche and Richebourg, so a single glance takes in a remarkable concentration of great vineyards. It is a place for a photograph and a moment of quiet, before a walk through the village of Vosne-Romanée. ## Planning your visit The vineyard is private and the vines are fragile, so stay on the lane, never step between the rows and never pick grapes. A short stop is enough. The vineyard roads are narrow, so a quick drop-off by your driver is the easiest way. There are no opening times, as the view is there in every season. Check the official tourist office website for walking maps of the village. ## Did you know? In March 2026 a single bottle of 1945 Romanée-Conti sold at auction in New York for 812,500 US dollars, the highest price ever paid for a bottle of wine at auction. The previous record, 558,000 dollars in 2018, was also held by a 1945. ## Around Romanée-Conti Vineyard What to combine with Romanée-Conti Vineyard on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Vosne-Romanée](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/vosne-romanee) (1 km away): Six grands crus, including Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, in the village called the pearl of the Côte. - [Vougeot](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/vougeot) (2 km away): Home of the Clos de Vougeot, the Cistercian vineyard and château at the heart of Burgundy's wine story. - [Flagey-Échezeaux](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/flagey-echezeaux) (2 km away): A village of vines and fields on the plain, with two grands crus climbing the slope above. ### Châteaux - [Château de Vosne-Romanée](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-vosne-romanee) (1 km away): The family seat of the Comtes Liger-Belair, owners of the grand cru La Romanée. - [Château du Clos de Vougeot](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-du-clos-de-vougeot) (2 km away): The Cistercian wine estate that became the symbol of Burgundy wine. - [Château de la Tour](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-la-tour) (2 km away): The only estate that makes its wine inside the walls of the Clos de Vougeot. ### Things to do - [Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/domaine-armelle-et-bernard-rion-vosne-romanee) (1 km away): A Vosne-Romanée family domaine since 1896, where tastings pair the wines with Burgundy truffles. - [La Grande Cave de Vougeot](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/la-grande-cave-de-vougeot) (2 km away): A wine shop over 17th-century vaulted cellars at the foot of the Clos de Vougeot, with tastings from all over Burgundy. - [Route des Grands Crus](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/route-des-grands-crus) (2 km away): Burgundy's historic wine road, about 60 kilometres of vineyards and villages from Dijon to Santenay. ### Restaurants - [La Table d’Hôte, La Rôtisserie du Chambertin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/la-table-d-hote-rotisserie-du-chambertin-gevrey) (7 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A starred tasting table in an eighteenth-century house in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin - [Le Charlemagne](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-charlemagne-pernand-vergelesses) (12 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Burgundy with a Japanese accent, facing the hill of Corton-Charlemagne ### Guides about Romanée-Conti Vineyard - [The grand crus of Burgundy](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-grand-crus) - [Burgundy wine classification](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-wine-classification) - [Wine tour itineraries from Beaune](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-wine-tour-itineraries) - [The Climats of Burgundy](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/climats-of-burgundy-unesco) - [Côte de Nuits vs Côte de Beaune](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/cote-de-nuits-vs-cote-de-beaune) ## Questions about Romanée-Conti Vineyard ### How far is Romanée-Conti Vineyard from Beaune?
