From the renowned Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, the Romanee St Vivant 2021 is crafted from carefully tended Pinot Noir grapes in the esteemed grand cru vineyard of Vosne-Romanée, Burgundy. The 2021 growing season presented climatic challenges, leading to a vintage that necessitated precise vineyard management to address mildew and frost. With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine reveals a profile marked by red fruit, floral notes, and subtle spice. The tannins are fine-grained, underpinning the wine`s structure, while high acidity enhances its tension. The finish reflects the mineral characteristics of the limestone-rich terroir, showcasing the vineyard`s unique expression and the estate`s commitment to quality.

The 2021 Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru is a big step up in this tasting. Unlike the Echézeaux and the Grands Echézeaux, the RSV possesses notable textural depth and resonance, albeit in the smaller-scaled style of the year. Bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper, citrus and cedar fill out the layers effortlessly. The stems are evident, but beautifully woven into the wine's fabric. Traditionally, La Tâche and Romanée-Conti garner the most attention here, but in 2021 Romanée St. Vivant is clearly the most expressive wine, at least today. I would be thrilled to own it.Antonio Galloni12th March 2024
