An amazing symphony of flavors that are seamless and fine with a core acid-tannin tension that runs through the wine even though it is nearly 50 years old. It is an impressive Romane-Conti that shows how majestic, refined and classy this wine is at its peak. Showing hardly any signs of being tired; if the wine is kept in good condition it should drink well for another decade or two.

Tasting note: (from two bottles that were reconditioned at the Domaine in 1995 and 1996). 1965 was a relatively humid and rainy year with only moderate ripeness levels as there was rain in the weeks preceding, and druing, much of the harvest. The Domaine's Echézeaux was not released. Completely bricked through but not browning. A pure and remarkably fresh nose of caramel and brown sugar replete with lovely spice, tea and soy notes sits atop nicely rich and round flavors that are completely resolved and utterly delicious though the finish is leaning out. Still, this is an absolutely lovely wine, particularly for such an indifferent vintage and while the reconditioning undoubtedly contributed to the more youthful state of evolution, it did not, indeed could not, make something this interesting out of something that was not to begin with. In sum, one of the stars of the vintage.

Acquired by the Prince de Conti in 1760, the 1.85 ha vineyard produces little more than 6,000 bottles of mythical and exceptional wine per yearl. After the French Revolution, the area was declared a national asset, Romanée Conti counted many owners, including family-Duvault Blochet, who acquired several other parcels, including La Tâche, Richebourg and Echézeaux. Today, every bottle of Romanée Conti is signed by both Aubert de Villaine and Henry-Frederic Roch. Romanee Conti was the last vineyard in Burgundy to resist phylloxera, but during the second world war, the lack of carbon disulphide led to its destruction in 1945. For five years, from 1946 to 1951, no vintage was produced. The conditions of vinification and aging (maximum maturity of the fruit, very high selectivity, maximum precautions at every stage, breeding new wood) can produce an exceptional wine. Thus, magnificent complex aromas evoking rose, violet, spices, truffles and leather are in this sumptuous wine. All Domain Romanee Conti is implemented to produce only wines to keep. Biodynamics has taken over the last ten years a different share under the new leadership of Henry Frédéric-Roch, one of two co-managers of Domaine Romanee Conti with Aubert de Villaine. The owner of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, one of the most famous vineyards in the world, has been elected Decanter Man of The Year 2010 by the eponymous magazine. Aubert de Villaine is the largest producer of wines from Burgundy to receive this award since its inception. Modest, it seems that he also refused at first to be rewarded, before changing his mind to finally accept. Co-owner of the domain family of Romanée-Conti with the Leroy family, Aubert de Villaine long hesitated before walking in the footsteps of his father. After studying law and literature, he flew to New York and began his career as an importerof wines from Burgundy. Fascinated by wine, he also devoted himself to journalism and has interviewed, among others, Robert Mondavi 1966. During this period his father called him  to his side. He started as an apprentice to the field. Since then, he has consistently put his dedication, passion and service requirement of Romanée-Conti, which continues to produce the greatest red wines in the world. .
