Its great vineyards were developed by monks, above all those of the Cluniac priory of Saint-Vivant de Vergy, founded in the Hautes-Côtes between 894 and 918. By the 13th century the priory held about 20 hectares here in four clos, one of which, the Clos des Cinq Journaux, would later become Romanée-Conti. The Cistercians of Cîteaux also helped develop these slopes. In 1760 the Prince de Conti acquired the vineyard that has carried his name ever since. The village added Romanée to its own name in 1866, and the appellation followed in 1936. The Burgundian writer Gaston Roupnel wrote that Burgundy had made nothing better than this little corner. La Grande Rue, between La Tâche and Romanée-Conti, became the sixth grand cru in 1992. ## The wines Vosne-Romanée is red only, from Pinot Noir. The appellation lies above and below the grands crus, on east-facing limestone mixed with clay marls, from a few tens of centimetres to a metre deep. The wines are velvety and spicy, with ripe strawberry, raspberry, bilberry and blackcurrant, gaining notes of kirsch, leather and game with age. There are 14 premiers crus, three of them wholly or partly in neighbouring Flagey-Échezeaux. **All the grands crus (6)**: Romanée-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, La Grande Rue **Well-known premiers crus (14 premiers crus)**: Les Suchots, Les Beaux Monts, Aux Malconsorts, Cros Parantoux, Aux Brulées, Les Chaumes ## What to see ### Romanée-Conti Just above the village, a stone cross and a plaque mark the 1.81-hectare Romanée-Conti, next to Romanée-Saint-Vivant and Richebourg. Stay on the lanes and respect the vines. ### Rue du Temps Perdu viewpoint Walk a few hundred metres up the Rue du Temps Perdu, the start of the old monks' path, for a view over Romanée-Conti and the other grands crus below. ### Église Saint-Martin Rebuilt in the late 18th century, the church faces west rather than east. Its carved wood panelling, protected as a historic monument, is said to come from Cîteaux Abbey. ### The monks' path to Saint-Vivant An 11 km walking route follows the monks' way from Vosne up to the ruins of the Abbey of Saint-Vivant, above the Hautes-Côtes village of Curtil-Vergy. ## Good to know Allow 45 minutes to an hour for a walk to Romanée-Conti and the church. Vosne combines naturally with Vougeot and Flagey-Échezeaux to the north and with Nuits-Saint-Georges, just south, for lunch. ## Did you know? La Romanée, just above Romanée-Conti, covers only 0.85 hectares, making it one of the smallest appellations in France. It is one of six grands crus in the village. ## Around Vosne-Romanée What to combine with Vosne-Romanée on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [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. - [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. - [Nuits-Saint-Georges](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/nuits-saint-georges) (2 km away): The wine town that names the Côte de Nuits, with 41 premiers crus and a lively old centre. ### 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. - [Château de Gilly](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-gilly) (2 km away): The former country residence of the abbots of Cîteaux, now a five-star hotel near Vougeot. ### Things to do - [Romanée-Conti Vineyard (Vigne de la Romanée-Conti)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/romanee-conti-vineyard), 1 km away: A vineyard of about 1.8 hectares, marked by a stone cross and famous all over the world. - [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. - [Saint-Vivant Abbey, Vergy (Abbaye de Saint-Vivant de Vergy)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/abbaye-saint-vivant-de-vergy), 5 km away: Restored ruins of the Cluniac priory whose monks once owned the great vines of Vosne-Romanée. - [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. - [Église Saint-Symphorien](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/eglise-saint-symphorien-nuits-saint-georges) (2 km away): A 13th-century church in the old winegrowers' quarter of Nuits-Saint-Georges, still marked by the Romanesque style. - [Dufouleur Frères](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/dufouleur-freres-oenotheque-nuits-saint-georges) (2 km away): A Nuits-Saint-Georges family wine house since 1848, with a tasting room in the former stables of its château. ### 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 Vosne-Romanée - [Beaune or Dijon: where to stay](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/beaune-or-dijon-where-to-stay) - [The grand crus of Burgundy](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-grand-crus) - [Harvest and truffle season in Burgundy](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-harvest-and-truffle-season) - [What a private wine tour costs](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-private-wine-tour-cost) - [Burgundy wine classification](https://www.cote-privee.com/guides/burgundy-wine-classification) ## Questions about Vosne-Romanée ### How far is Vosne-Romanée from Beaune?
