Tasting note

The 2017 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is a brilliant wine, wafting from the glass with a complex and alluring bouquet of cherries, red berries, rose petal, blood orange and Asian spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, satiny and multidimensional, with a lovely sense of completeness, succulent acids and a deep and concentrated core of fruit, concluding with a long and sapid finish. Elegant and compellingly complex, the Romanée-Saint-Vivant is the king of the cellar this year.

Score: 93-95
