Domaine Follin-Arbelet Romanée St Vivant 2012 is a full-bodied red Burgundy from the Grand Cru climat of Romanée St Vivant in the commune of Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits. "The highly refined and seductive mouth feel immediately confirms the evident class of the silky medium weight flavours as the tannins are wonderfully fine grained. This may very well change as this evolves in bottle but for the moment the Bressandes is the more complex wine though the length is better here and my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt that more complexity will be in the offing." Burghound, 2004

Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru from Domaine Follin-Arbelet has an intense, dark cherry, blackcurrant and liquorice-tinged bouquet that perhaps lacks the nuance and complexity you see from such a grand cru. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin, supple and velvety in the mouth with a juicy ripe core, rippling nicely towards the finish marked by well judged acidity and a sustained plush aftertaste.

Mid cherry red. Perfumed and classy on the nose. Remarkably complex on the nose for such a young wine. red fruit, citrus, lightly floral – blossom. Tannins are fine and already smooth but they are also deep and structured for a longer life. Great persistence. (JH)
