Romanée-Conti Wine "1945"

This specific vintage of Romanée-Conti was produced in 1945 during the closing years of the second world war, an already turbulant time for most wine producers, let alone for such a low yielding yet quality wine. With the addition of many soldiers combing through the countryside in celebratory ferver raiding many previously abbandoned sites, some of whom would come to discover the limited vintage and indulge themselves, even close to it's creation the 1945 vintage's numbers would quickly fall. By the 50s, the quantity had already falled to under half of the original 600 with some realizing its soon to be irreplacable status and unique history deciding to hold such bottles above others as a bottle never to be opened.   Come the turn of the 21st century no more than 70 bottles remained in existence, all of which had found their homes in collection among other coveted objects of praise such as pieces of high art, ancient artifacts, and extradimensional curios. In modern times, a feeble handful remain with around 12 bottles surviving to this day. these last dozen of a dying collection remain as the holy grail of all wines.
