The 1993 Romanee St Vivant from Jean-Jacques Confuron presents a distinctive representation of this celebrated Grand Cru. Confuron is known for his meticulous approach to winemaking, employing organic and biodynamic practices in the vineyard to highlight terroir. This vintage is characterised by a blend of red berry fruit, complemented by notes of earthy undertones and forest floor. The palate is structured and savoury, initially firm but developing a nuanced harmony with time. A wine that reflects the Romanee St Vivant vineyard`s unique identity, it offers insight into an exceptional site in Burgundy.

Robert Parker
The Romanee-St.-Vivant is a powerhouse, as well as a potential monument of the vintage. Made from vines planted in 1920 and yields of less than two tons per acre, this wine exhibits everything a great young Burgundy should possess. The saturated dark ruby/purple color is followed by a nose that reluctantly offers up sweet aromas of plums, black-cherries, and licorice-covered raspberries. The wine hits the palate with great fruit extraction, superb purity, medium to full body, a long mid-palate, and an impressive 35-45 second finish. While it possesses the vintage`s tell-tale high tannin level, this is a profoundly concentrated wine. As always, it is a question of balance, and this wine contains both the fruit and the structure. Do not touch a bottle for 3-4 years, then watch it magically evolve over the following two decades. Impressive! For three consecutive years this estate has bottled its wines without fining or filtration. Additionally, the wines are only racked before bottling, so there is 15-18 months of extended lees contact. The grand crus are aged in 100% new French oak, and the premier crus in 80%. One of Burgundy`s finest estates, the Meuniers are doing everything to ensure the highest quality wines emerge. Their 1993s are certainly among the superstars of the vintage. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
