About this wine

Romanée-Saint-Vivant lies below Richebourg and Romanée-Conti on the Vosne-Romanée slope. The domaine's holding, the largest in the grand cru, was formerly owned by the Marey-Monge family. It is the most delicate and silky of the domaine's reds, prized for perfume and finesse. Though it can seem lighter when young, it ages well over twenty years or more.

About Domaine de la Romanee-Conti

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, in the village of Vosne-Romanée, is widely regarded as the greatest wine estate in Burgundy. It is jointly owned by the de Villaine and Leroy-Roch families and makes almost only Grand Cru wines.

The domaine owns the whole of two legendary vineyards, Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, as well as parcels of Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Grands-Échezeaux, Échezeaux, Corton and Le Montrachet. The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically with very low yields, and the small quantities made are allocated, making its wines among the rarest and most sought after in the world.
