2019 Romanee St Vivant

There are a mere 600 liters of the brilliant 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, a striking wine that soars from the glass with scents of blackberries, rose petals, violets, woodsmoke and orange rind. Full-bodied, velvety and expansive, it's layered and textural, with a vibrant core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and a long, perfumed finish.

The 2019 Romanée Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is glorious, regal on the nose with black cherries, bilberry, light oyster shell and that has exquisite delineation. This has more intensity than the Chambertin. The palate is beguiling in terms of balance, utterly harmonious with filigree tannins. This is extremely pure and long, lightly spiced towards the finish and an extraordinarily long on the aftertaste. Utterly sublime and sensual, just as a Romanée-Saint-Vivant ought to be.
