Score 97+/100 · Drink 2029-2067, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sep 2020

The 2017 Romanée Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is one of the most memorable wines in this tasting. Soaring in its aromatic intensity, the RSV is a statuesque beauty. Readers will find a Burgundy of vertical lift and precision. Silky tannins and brilliant top notes from the whole clusters add to the wine's tremendous appeal. So many Leroy wines are about textural richness, but the RSV is much more ethereal and nuanced. There is an elusiveness about it that is absolutely enchanting. Just when you think you understand the wine, it shows a new facet of its personality. Readers who can find it should not hesitate. What a wine.

The 2017 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru reveals a beautiful bouquet of dark wild berries, exotic spices, wilted rose petals and forest floor, discreetly framed by a touch of new oak. It's full-bodied, deep and exquisitely silky, with a concentrated core and supple tannins that caress the palate before giving way to a long, penetrating and pungently perfumed finish. This is a quintessentially elegant, ethereal Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
