About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirBurgundy, FranceDomaine de la Romanée-Conti is the Pinot Noir sought after by serious wine collectors and true lovers of the noble grape. St.Vivant is a single vineyard within the Vosne-Romanée commune, of which only 1500 cases are made each year. Purchased from the Marey-Monge family in 1988, but has been farmed since the mid 1960s, Romané-St-Vivant is an extremely elegant and stylist Pinot, that has more in common with La Romanée-Conti than the more masculine Richebourg.

An ultra elegant, pure and quite delicately fruited and spiced nose that is extremely fresh, floral and expansive that is more layered still as it introduces seductively textured, detailed and gorgeously delineated middle weight flavors that possess laser-like focus if less density than is usually seen with this wine. Indeed, this is rather like a ballerina with limited power and weight but the watch word here is purity, purity and purity. I quite like this but it will strike some as unduly light though I believe the underlying material is present such that it will add weight in bottle as it ages.
