This measures up to a grand cru in every sense. There is an amplitude of flavour - fruit, savoury complexity, and spicy depth - and a many-layered texture that one only sees in the greatest terroirs. Luxurious, deep cherry flavours explode on the palate. Just brilliant.

The 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, matured in around 50% new oak, has an enthralling, pure black cherry, cassis, crushed violet and blood orange bouquet that soars from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins. Opulent and showy; hints of licorice and mint suffuse the intense finish. It closes up a little toward the finish, but this is a magnificent Romanée-Saint-Vivant that should age over the next 30–40 years.
