RATINGS

94Robert M. Parker Jr.

(Hedonist's Gazette) One of the most stunning wines of the entire flight... an underrated vintage that I had been relatively high on for years. Notes of herbs, underbrush, meat, and sweet red and black fruits jump from the glass...

94Burghound.com

This possesses a clasic RSV nose with kaleidoscopic aromas of Vosne spice, black fruit and hints of earth and violets... genuinely stunning complexity and exceptional length... at its apogee though it should last for another 20 years...

18.5Clive Coates

Good colour. Lovely poised concentrated nose. Real elegance. On the palate tannins a bit dry at first. The fruit is lovely though. Very intense. Very long.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Romanee-St. Vivant

Romanee-Saint-Vivant is a 23-acre Grand Cru vineyard just on the northern edge of the commune of Vosne-Romanee in the Cote de Nuits. The vineyard faces east, has a gentle incline and an elevation of 250 to 265 meters. The soil is clay and limestone. Principal producers of Romanee-Saint-Vivant are Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, with 13.23 acres; Leroy, with 2.48 acres; and Domaine de Corton-Grancey/Louis Latour, with 1.9 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.

VINTAGE

Domaine Marey Monge farmed out the Romanee St. Vivant vineyard to Domaine De La Romanee-Conti starting in 1966. In 1988 Domaine De La Romanee-Conti bought Domaine Marey Monge.
