The #5 Most Expensive Wine is a full-bodied vintage with an elaborate cross complexity of flavor that is sure to appeal to your fine taste for classic Burgundy liquor. Its base essence consists of the extracts of clove, pinot fruit, anise, soy, hoisin with a faint hint of earthy aroma topping all. All these contribute towards making the Romanee-Conti DRC wine one of the freshest, penetrating and very much refined. Its price of $224,900 set of 8 bottles

The DRC part of its name derives from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, which is a rich red and white wine-producing estate of Burgundy, France. True to its name, this wine complements the true blue aristocrat in you through its pure, intense flavor. Famed wine critic Clive Coates has named the Romanée-Conti DRC as one of the scarcest and most expensive wine of the world. If you are wine collector, this is the most truly Pinot Noir liquor you could add to your collection and judge all the other wines of the world with.

Facts about the Romanee-Conti vineyards

If you are interested to learn about what goes behind the production of the priciest wines of the world, the details of the Romanee-Conti vineyards will interest you immensely. The vineyards are located in the Vosne-Romanée village that has soil characterized by the presence of iron-rich limestone and well-formed drainage slopes. These fields are cultivated by using the ancient agriculture tools like tractors and horses to maintain soil fertility.

The vines meant for the production of Romanee-Conti DRC stretch over La Tâche and Grands Echézeaux. One of the prime reasons for the high price of this wine is the extremely low yield of the soil, so that it takes about the produce of three Pinot Noir grape vines to produce one bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Each grape is individually chosen and selected before they are pressed for their juices. The average age of these vines extending over 1.8 hectares is 53 years and the Pinot Nair harvest can produce up to 450 cases of Romanee-Conti DRC wine.
