In Search of La Romanée-Conti (bilingual French/English) By Aubert de Villaine and Thierry Weber

Romanée-Conti, the Research is much more than just a book about wine. It is a deep exploration of the connections between the literature and the Burgundian terroir, between Proustian heritage and the very essence of exceptional wine what is the Romanée-Conti.

In 1922, Marcel Proust completed his masterpiece In Search of Lost Time and entrusts to his maid: "It's big news. Last night, I wrote the word 'end.' (...) Now, I can die." A few decades later, Aubert de Villaine, an iconic figure of the Burgundy vineyard, draws a striking parallel between Proust's work and the Romanée-Conti, which he considers as "the most Proustian of great wines".

This book delves into the subtle echo between literary art and the art of winemaking, inviting the reader to rediscover Romanée-Conti through a new lens.

The Photographs by Dorine Maillot and the paintings by Edwin Mac Gaw, evoking the atmospheres of Claude Monet and Marcelo Fortuny, enrich the work with a powerful and delicate visual aesthetic. The images, like the words, capture the essence of the wine and the soul of its terroir.

In parallel, this work pays tribute to Aubert de Villaine, legendary winemaker, whose passionate commitment has shaped the history of the Romanée-Conti and of the Burgundy. His approach, marked by respect for nature and a quest for excellence, has elevated this vintage to the status of a global icon.

Romanée-Conti, the Research is also a celebration of the dialogue between the arts: literature, photography, painting and Oenology intertwine to offer a unique sensory and intellectual experience.
