The winery is located in Vosne-Romane, the core area of Burgundy, France. The wines produced are all top-class wines, and the most famous one is Roman Kandy, hence the name of the winery. Because wine lovers and wine merchants all over the world are eager to get the fine wines of Romannikondi Winery, the wines of this winery were once sold at the LCL quota of 65,438+02 bottles per case, and were distributed in proportion to the wine harvest of each high-quality garden, of which only 65,438+0 bottles belonged to Romannikondi High-quality Garden, just because they were too rare.
Because the demand is too short, the wines of Romannikondi Winery are sold by quota. Only more than 200 individuals registered in the winery catalogue or more than 65,438+000 registered wine cellar managers (and some famous restaurants) can place an order to buy the wines of Romannicotti, and these registered wine cellar managers must ensure that only the wines are sold to their familiar guests. Only 600 bottles of Romannikonti are distributed in France every year, and the rest are sold abroad.

All these measures are to ensure that the wine in this winery will not be manipulated and sold at sky-high prices, but the market still faithfully reflects the extreme contrast between supply and demand of this wine. It is not surprising that the circulation purchase channels or auctions in the market can sell at a high price of more than 654.38+10,000 RMB. There has always been a joke in the Jianghu that the Roman Emperor Nikon is "the wine that millionaires can afford, and billionaires can only drink", which is true.

Luoman-Kangdi winery
International average price: 1 13938 yuan (before tax)
It is this legendary Romannikondi Garden that gives the winery its name, and it is also one of the two exclusive gardens of the winery (the other is Latche). The garden is only 1.8 hectares, and it hasn't changed a centimeter since 1580. At present, this vineyard only produces about 4,000 bottles of wine every year (recently 15 years, the lowest output only produced 3 15 1 bottle in 2008 and the highest output 199 produced 69 17 bottles).
Romannikondi's taste is light and delicate, which challenges all the indexes of wine making and all the tasters. Many people can't understand its subtlety. The word commonly used to describe this wine is "spherical"-perfect. That's why Bernard Burtschy, a wine critic, once said, "Ratchet has always been the champion of the Burgundy Blind Tasting Club, and he often wins even when he meets Romannicotti, because it meets the standards of all great wines. But for Romannikondi, a sharper sense is needed to appreciate its extreme subtlety. "
Allen Meadows, a wine critic who has tasted and compared Romanji Coty for many years, said: "Romanji Coty is not a modern wine in the sense of walking in the snow and Fort Richie." Especially when you are young, it doesn't express its fragrance like those two gardens ... it won't take the initiative to come to you, but you need to take the initiative to find it. Tasting a great Roman emperor Nikon requires different ways of thinking and some efforts from the drinker. "
Romannikondi is a wine with great aging potential, and it takes at least 15-20 years to reach its peak in ordinary years. When it comes to the New Year, 20-25 years of patience is also the most basic.

Latche hotel
International average price: 27,765,438+00 yuan (before tax)
Latche is another exclusive garden of the winery except Romannikon Garden, covering an area of about 6 hectares and located in a good position on the hillside. The legal scope includes the original Ratche and Les Gaudichots vineyards. Treading through the snow is a wine that rigorously pursues the ultimate aesthetic experience. Shocking and awe-inspiring, the aroma is complex, the wine body structure is rich, the aftertaste is delicate and long with a sense of minerals, the overall level is rich and changeable, and it has a very long aging potential.
In order to witness the excellent quality of treading snow, the winery will hold a vertical tasting every twenty or thirty years. Recently, guests have continuously tasted 18 vintage, including 1992, 1993, 1994 and other small-year wines. As a result, every wine is perfect. There are only a handful of wineries in the world that can continuously brew 18 years and achieve such quality: the first-class famous wineries in Bordeaux can't, because there are always some years of failure, and wineries outside France can't.

Richburg hotel
International average price: 16833 yuan (before tax)
Richebourg is famous for its rich and full style. As the name implies (Riche means rich in French), it is also extremely elegant. This is also a super-class garden famous for its aging potential. No matter how old it is, it takes at least 10 years to show its extraordinary charm, and it has at least 20 years of aging ability.
Romannikondi Winery owns 3.5 hectares of vineyards in Fort Richie and is the absolute landlord here. Other wineries own no more than 65,438+0 hectares of land here.

Roman-Saint-Vivan Grand Crewe
International average price: 13538 yuan (before tax)
Romane-Saint-Vivant Grand Garden in Romanji is named after the once neighboring Saint-Vivant Monastery and is famous for producing extremely fine wines. Romannikondi winery has 5.28 hectares of vineyards here, which is more than half of the total area (9.3 hectares).
For this wine, the words of the head of the winery, Aubert de Villaine, are very appropriate. "Romanji Saint-Vivain is a representative of the exquisite elegance of the winery, and its taste is obviously tight, which reminds people of the simple ascetic life of monks." If the wine produced by Romannicotti winery is the best in this special garden, which is superior to other wineries in the same vineyard, then the quality of this fine wine produced by Romannicotti winery will reach the highest point after 2000, showing an extremely fine style.
Romannikondi Winery rented this special garden from Marey-Monge Winery from 1966, and obtained the property right at 1988. So on the wine label, we can see two versions: unmarked (1989-1992) and marked Marey-Monge( 1973-1988,1after 993).

The Great Echizo, next to Clos de Voyo, was also managed by the Keto Monastery in the Middle Ages. Romannikondi winery has 3.53 hectares of vineyards here.
Generally speaking, Big Ethel is an upgraded version of Echzeaux, which is superior in both quality and price. Judging from the style of wine, Grand Ethel has a fuller taste, a more solid structure and a strong aroma of black fruit than the latter. When I was young, the great Ethel might be a little too tight, and it would take some time to age, but the best wine is comparable to the strength of the best Wu Ruoyuan. As Aubert de Vicente said: "Its calmness is the opposite of Ethel's prosperity, and it will be fully displayed after aging."

Echzeaux big club
International average price: 12225 yuan (before tax)
Echzeaux is one of the largest high-quality fields in Burgundy, with an area of 37.69 hectares, of which 4.67 hectares belong to the winery Romannikondi. Ethel has several songs in it. Although there is no label on the bottle, the quality of different lieux-dits has long been divided into high and low in the hearts of local wine farmers. The vineyards of Romannicotti Winery are located in Les Poulaillres and Clos Saint-Denis.
Generally speaking, Ethel is the second echelon of the big garden. It is not as tight as the big Ethel, but softer than tannins and easy to drink. There is no doubt that this wine is full of passion in fruit flavor, and its richness even tries to surpass that of Glen Ethel when he was young.

Monhachet Grand Garden has always been recognized as the producing area of the best quality white wine, with an area of less than 8 hectares, spanning two villages, namely Chassagne Pamela and Puligny Montrachet. The former produces richer wine (this part is often called Le Montrachet), while the latter has a more elegant taste. 1963, Romannikondi Winery bought the first super white wine vineyard in Xie, Pamela, breaking the history that the winery only produced red wine.
Romannikondi Winery * * * has a 0.68-hectare Monhachie Garden, which is divided into three parts, all located in the village of Xiaseni -Monhachie, and the easternmost part is located at the junction of the two villages.
In addition, the winery also owns 0. 17 hectares of Baatar-Pamela Grand Garden, but this big garden white wine is generally not for sale.

International average price: around 9609 yuan (before tax)
In 2008, Romannikondi Winery rented three Corton special gardens from DomainPrince Florent de Merode, namely Bressandes, 438+0. 1.944 hectares, Clos du ROI, 0.57265,438+0.565438 hectares and 0.51.865433 hectares. A careful observation of the label of this wine will reveal that this wine not only continues the fresh style of Emperor Nikon of Rome, but also has a line of small characters under the word "Corton" in the special garden, clearly indicating the owner of the vineyard "Prince Florent de Merode".
Covering an area of nearly 100 hectare, Ke Tong Grand Garden is the largest garden in Burgundy and a big vineyard for producing red wine and white wine. It is inevitable that such a large super park will be mixed with good and bad, and most of the best wines here come from celebrities outside the village, such as this wine owned by Romannikondi, and the price is much higher than other local super parks.
First-class garden
In addition to the super gardens mentioned above, Romannikondi Winery also has some first-class gardens in Vaughan-Romanji village, including Les Gaudichots, Les Petits Monts, Aux-Dessus des Malconsorts and Les Suchots. The first three first-class gardens are generally sold anonymously to middlemen in barrels.
Les Gaudichots first-class garden was bottled independently at the beginning of last century. Later, because a large part of Les Gaudichots was included in Latche, the area of the first-class Les Gaudichots Park has been reduced to about 1 hectare, and the part belonging to Romannikotti is only 0.077 hectare. Due to historical reasons, since A.D. 1929, the wines of Les Gaudichots have not been bottled and sold independently by Romannikonti Winery.
The first-class garden of Les Suchots is managed by Henri-Frdric Roch, the co-manager of the winery, and launched in the name of its own winery, Domaine Prieur-Roch (usually called "kitchen knife winery" in China due to the pattern on the wine label).
Domaine de la Romane-Contivosine-Romane Premier Crucuve du Vault-Blochet is the only top-class garden wine sold under the name of Romanico Di.
International average price: 1 1, 198 yuan (before tax).
Starting from 1999, the winery will pick premium vineyards for the second time in some very special years (such as 1999, 2002), and select the remaining but not bad grapes to brew a small amount of wine, which will be downgraded to a first-class garden and named after the former owner Duarte Brochette. Although it is sold in a first-class garden, the price is naturally better than that of many wineries.
International average price: about 3902 yuan (before tax)
In addition, in order to help Saint Vivant De Vergy raise renovation funds, the winery also produced a large white wine DRC Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuitsbrong through OEM.
The grapes of this wine are taken from the vines planted on the monastery campus, and are mainly sold through the wine shops Lavinia and Caves Auge in Paris. Through the money they sell, their names will appear on the wine label.
There is also a customized version of this wine for multinational wine merchant FICOFI. All of the above belong to the same wine, but the labels are different.
The winery also issued a brand wine named Les Amis de L'Abbaye and a French table wine, which was quite low-key, and was not widely publicized in the market or recorded in official website.
However, these two kinds of liquors have also been fired at high prices by the market because of their rarity.
In addition to wine, Romannikondi also produces Marc de Bourgogne, a kind of spirit distilled from the pomace left in the process of wine making, which was born as a by-product of wine making.
Every year, the winery will hand over the wine dregs to the local designated winery. After the distillation is completed, these wines will be sent back to each family, labeled and sold in the name of the winery. Compared with grape brandy, pomace has more obvious fruit flavor, or fruit stalk flavor, because oak barrels are rarely used.
International average price of boutique Burgundy: 12448 yuan (before tax).
The international average price of Marc de Bourgogne is about 8,841yuan (before tax).
In addition to Marc de Bourgogne, there is another brandy in the winery called boutique Bourgogne, which is distilled from the residue containing a lot of dead yeast at the bottom of the barrel when changing wine. This kind of liquor is close to cognac in style and has a more delicate aroma and taste than Marco.
