Rare wine has fascinated investors for centuries. Lifelong experience in this field is of great importance. Investing in wine is very complex, but done right, it can prove to be a very lucrative business. Prices for rare wines have increased by over 100% in recent years. This demand is expected to increase even further as more wine lovers develop in the Asian region. The global wine market size was USD 364.25 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 444.93 billion by 2027. During this forecast period, the CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) is 6.06%. 
 
Corked wine continues to mature after bottling and benefits from an additional price increase over time due to a higher intrinsic value. 
 
Putting a Rare Wine portfolio together is a journey that never really ends. However, what the right composition should look like is just the beginning. It is important to stay informed about the latest trends in order to make appropriate sales and additions to our selection. 
 
Key factors for wine as an investment: 
 
Region 
Choosing the right portfolio mix is similar to choosing on the stock market. We should avoid putting all our eggs in one basket and therefore diversify our portfolio across different wine regions. To this end, we should always keep a few classics from regions such as Piedmont, Tuscany, Bordeaux and Champagne in the portfolio. But it is also important to diversify not only across regions but also across countries and to include wines from Spain, Portugal, Switzerland and Austria, for example. 
 
Quality 
The first step towards success has been taken with the selection of wine regions for our portfolio. Now comes the main part of the research. Not every producer within these selected regions maintains the same quality standards. It is estimated that only 0.1% of the world's wine production reaches investment quality. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to select award-winning wines from top producers. 
 
Storage 
It is not enough to store carefully selected wines in an ordinary cellar if you expect serious returns. The importance of professional storage of wine is the key requirement to obtain world-renowned quality labels. Many auction houses won't even accept the wine if they feel that the storage requirements have not been met.

Romanée-Conti is not only the name of the most famous vineyard in the world but also the name of perhaps the best wine producer of all time. 
 
In the village of Vosne-Romanée, in the heart of Burgundy, we find the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, named after the vineyard, itself. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, often referred to simply as DRC, has a long and remarkable history that has led to the wines from DRC being widely recognized as some of the most interesting in the world - both from a drinking perspective, but certainly also from an investment perspective. 
 
The Magic By Which DRC Differs From All Others 
In Burgundy, people always talk about what makes the difference. What is it that elevates one winemaker above his neighbor? At Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, many aspects play a role, but one is particularly relevant: The selection of the right clones of Pinot Noir to produce wines with the optimal flavor and profile. 
 
In 1945, the last wine was made from ungrafted vines from the Romanée-Conti vineyard. That year, the DRC harvested only 2.5 hectares, in contrast to today, where the harvest is around 20 hectares, which is still far below the permitted 35 hectares. The family carefully selected the best clones from the vineyard and then cultivated them. In this way, the DRC now has its own clones of the vines that grew on the Romanée-Conti until 1945, before they were replaced. Incidentally, these are the same clones that recur in all of the DRC's vineyards, and this is perhaps one of the reasons why the wines each have a life of their own and are often in a league of their own when it comes to quality. 
 
Grand Cru Vineyards In Vosne-Romanée 
Besides the key personalities and the unique clones, there is of course the all-important factor, namely the vineyards themselves. The estate is located in Vosne-Romanée, where the six most important vineyards are located. The two best grand cru vineyards are owned as monopolies by the DRC (La Tâche and Romanée-Conti), which means that no one else produces wine on these vineyards. 
 
The other wines are located in different vineyards, but what is probably most impressive is how large a share DRC owns in the other vineyards. Most producers often only own small parcels on a particular grand cru vineyard, but DRC is the largest owner on the four main vineyards. 
 
La Tâche 
6.06 hectares also owned as a monopoly by the DRC. The vines are on average almost 60 years old. The annual production is just over 20,000 bottles. The vineyard is considered by wine connoisseurs to be the most elegant and is only a fraction behind Romanée-Conti in terms of quality. 
 
Richebourg 
3.51 hectares with vines averaging more than 50 years old. The DRC produces an average of 12,000 bottles per year. Richebourg is another of the almost mythical Grand Cru sites in Burgundy, and like the DRC itself says:” We readily lend to Richebourg the silky character of its neighbor Romanée-Conti and the firmness of La Tâche”. It does not get any more beautiful than this when you have to put the wines from Richebourg into words. 
 
Romanée Saint-Vivant 
5.28 hectares with vines of great age variation. Some were recently replanted to get rid of old clones that did not give the desired expression. The younger vines are bottled and sold as Vosne-Romanée 1er cru. In total, the vineyard produces about 18,000 bottles per year. The style is elegant and extremely flattering, a wine that is appreciated all over the world. 
 
Grands Échezeaux 
3.52 hectares with vines more than 60 years old. 13,800 bottles per year are produced from here. It is the joker in the Aubert de Villaines range. A wine that is more grand than Échezeaux for so to speak, distinctly more rustic and dreamily aristocratic. Here is more muscle, and a wine that gains from long-term aging, showing its true terroir. 
 
Échezeaux 
4.67 hectares with vines more than 40 years old. DRC produces about 16,000 bottles a year of Échezeaux, which is the little brother in the line-up. Échezeaux is usually the vineyard where the vines blossom first and therefore, the harvest normally starts at Échezeaux. The wine itself can best be described as a lighter version of its Grands Échezeaux, but with fantastic finesse. 
 
Montrachet 
0.67 hectares with vines more than 70 years old and with a production of about 3,000 bottles in a normal vintage. Montrachet, legendary Le Montrachet itself! The most famous white wine vineyard in history, whose wines set the standard for all other white wines.

The price of €45,750 includes the Splint Invest platform fee and external maintenance costs of €7,750. €38,000 can be allocated to the bottles.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Assortment, 2018

The legend of the Romanée-Conti vineyard goes back a long way and is first mentioned in 1232, when the vineyard was owned by the Saint-Vivant monastery. 
 
Even then, when the vineyard was still called "Cru de Clos", it was considered one of the best plots. The wines from here were traded at more than six times the price of the wines from Clos de Vougeot, the largest Grand Cru vineyard in the region.
