From Romanée to Romanée-Conti
2
0
The physician of King Louis XIV, named Guy-Crescent Fagon, would prescribe Romanée wine to the monarch in order to treat his stomach pain. Around 1760, the Romanée plot of land, which belonged to the Cluniac monks of Saint-Vivant, was sold to the prince of Conti, Louis-François de Bourbon, at a high price. The prince was a great lover of the arts, and as such, he viewed Romanée wine not as a drink like any other, but rather saw in it a true work of art. Henceforth, the estate would be known as Romanée-Conti.
