An exclusive six-pack from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is currently being offered in a French supermarket. It consists of one bottle each of Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Echezeaux, Grands-Echezeaux, and Richebourg from the 2020 vintage. The package costs 65,000 Euros. The buyer of the package receives a bonus voucher card worth ten percent of the purchase price from the supermarket "Super-U" in Truchtersheim (Alsace). As a daily newspaper noted, this amount is enough "to afford a few kilos of foie gras and caviar".
The Romanée-Conti package is part of the nationwide seasonal campaign "Foire aux Vins" with discounted wines. In addition, "Super-U" in Truchtersheim also offers a bottle of Le Pin 2015 for 4,500 Euros, a double magnum of Cheval Blanc 1995 for 2,700 Euros, a double magnum of Mouton-Rothschild 1999 for 2,100 Euros, and three bottles of d’Yquem 2013 for 375 Euros each.
Located west of Strasbourg, Truchtersheim has the highest density of swimming pools and hot tubs per capita in all of France. It has therefore been referred to by the newspaper Le Figaro as "the little Monaco of Bas-Rhin".
