Sounds like a sensible idea.

[edit] A little more complicated

Romanée Conti refers to the Grand Cru vineyard - not the domain itself. So, I think the existing material in Romanée Conti should be merged with DRC and RC should redirect to RC Grand Cru.

Since the Romanee Conti vineyard is owned by the DRC it should be listed under the DRC article as it's prized vineyard.

while romanee conti is a DRC monopole, there is a difference between the domaine and the vineyard. DRC owns several vineyards of which romanee conti is one. therefore it is appropriate to have a separate entry for the vineyard and the domaine, especially considering the fame of each.

It's likely that all of the Burgundy grand cru's will wind up with their own page at some point down the line - Romanee Conti certainly merits it's own page as the premier grand cru. Also, the vineyard itself has a history that pre-dates DRC's ownership.

Please do not merge these two articles - with reference to the comments above.
