2020 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru, Sylvain Cathiard

The grandest wine in the cellar, and also the one made in the smallest volumes. The power and complexity of the fruit matched with the new oak is phenomenal. Hugely long.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is matured in three barrels of which two are new. It has a beautifully focused bouquet with dark cherries, blackcurrant, violet petals and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with spicy black cherry and red fruit, blood orange and cracked black pepper. Very fine depth here, firm grip, very persistent on the finish. Excellent.
