Goedhuis, December 2016
A very layered smoky liquorice nose. In the palate it is very youthful and backward in nature, but the underlying drive and vigour promise huge potential.

The 2015 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is very intense on the nose, beautifully defined with scents of black cherries, iodine, pressed violets and just a hint of dark chocolate in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a fine bead of acidity, quite tight at first (this bottle had not been decanted) with a spicy, quite saline finish. Perhaps a little closed down at the moment, this superb Romanée-Saint-Vivant needs another 4-5 years in bottle. Tasted at the Domaine de L’Arlot tasting at La Cabotte in London. Drink 2026-2055

The 2015 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru also includes 100% whole bunch fruit. I left this 4-5 minutes to really open up. The whole bunch works very well because you cannot detect the stem addition. It is very precise with crystalline red cherry, wild strawberry and limestone, gaining intensity with practically every swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a keen line of acidity, fresh and vibrant with a touch of spice towards the finish. It is an understated and linear Romanée-Saint-Vivant, very sophisticated and deserving of several years in bottle. Sublime. Drink Date 2022 - 2050

Burghound, January 2017, Score: 93-95
Here the expressive nose is spicier still as well as more complex, combining Asian-style tea, sandalwood, floral and a broad range of red and dark fruit aromas. There is an enchanting inner mouth perfume to the silky yet intense middle weight flavors that possess an ultra-refined palate impression, all wrapped in a hugely long and quite firmly structured finale. This is a classic RSV that is going to require a minimum of 8 to 10 years of cellaring and reward double that. Don't miss. (93-95)/2030+
Region
Romanée Saint Vivant
Romanée-St-Vivant, which takes its name from the monastery of St-Vivant founded in c. 900, is a Grand Cru vineyard in Vosne-Romanée on the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. It is the largest of Vosne-Romanée's six Grands Crus and produces red wine only. The vineyard is located on the slope to the north of the town of Vosne-Romanée and is the nearest vineyard to this village. Romanée-Saint-Vivant's soils are deep and rich in clay and lime, which means the wines of Romanée-St-Vivant are usually lighter and less powerful than its neighbours'. Domaine de la Romanée Conti is the largest proprietor, owning over half of the area's 9.5 ha.
