The 2014 Romanee St Vivant les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru has a clean and quite pure red cherry, wild strawberry and dried orange peel scented bouquet that will clearly need a couple more years to fully get into its stride. The palate is medium-bodied with quite bold, rounded tannin. There is good weight in the mouth, but where it stumbles is (yet again) towards the finish that comes across as one-dimensional and lacking the sophistication you seek in a Grand Cru, especially one at this price.

About the producer
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
