Domaine de la Romanée-Conti 2022 in bottle: A first look at this abundant vintage

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has unveiled its wines from the bountiful yet highly regarded 2022 vintage at a tasting for the UK trade and press, revealing wines that are ripe but balanced, with each wine clearly showing its unique identity.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has released its 2022 wines in bottle and the UK wine trade and press were the first to taste them in London last week.

The domaine’s co-directors Perrine Fenal and Bertrand de Villaine were present, alongside UK agent Corney & Barrow’s managing director Adam Brett-Smith.

Following cripplingly low yields in the frost-stricken 2021, the 2022 vintage delivered an abundance of healthy grapes.

‘It’s almost as if the 2022 vintage was listening to us,’ says Brett-Smith, ‘because it has compensated for the tiny volumes that we tasted together last year, with a vintage of wonderful abundance’.
