An iconic Grand Cru from the heart of Vosne-Romanée
The Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru 2017 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is a paragon of Burgundian elegance and complexity. Coming from the prestigious 5.29-hectare 'Marey-Monge' parcel, this wine reflects the finesse and depth that characterise the Côte de Nuits.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the wine presents a bright ruby red color. The nose is refined and complex, with aromas of rose petals, violets, red berries, sandalwood, orange peel and a hint of anise. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a silky texture, lively acidity and a long, mineral finish. The structure is harmonious and offers excellent ageing potential.

Wine Advocate (Robert Parker): 95 points
"The 2017 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru shows aromas of cassis, violets, blood orange, cinnamon and espresso, complemented by notes of smoked duck and musk. On the palate, the wine is full, multi-dimensional and enveloping, with impressive concentration, rich and powdery tannins and a long, salty finish." -
