93-95 The most backward cuvée in the cellar when I visited was the 2018 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru, a rich and muscular wine that unwinds to reveal notions of cherries, cassis and berries mingled with nuances of exotic spice and new oak. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, fleshy and structured, with refined but youthfully assertive tannins. A wine of considerable presence, this will need its remaining élevage to round out, but it’s very promising.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Dark cherry and berry fruit with plenty of weight and concentration on the palate. Tannins are still quite firm and the acidity is quite forceful. A burlier style of grand cru, I suspect this will be a fantastic example in four to five years. Needs more time but the potential is clearly there.

The 2018 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a very ripe and generous bouquet with ravishing dark cherry, boysenberry and cranberry fruit, sous-bois and peppermint, garrigues-like scents emerging with time. This feels very cohesive. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, slightly candied entry and fine acidity. Quite sweet in the mouth and maybe just missing the complexity of the 2019 on the finish that just shows a little heat, hence my lower score. Tasted at the Domaine de L'Arlot tasting at La Cabotte in London.

Subtle but not imperceptible wood influence is present on the ultra-spicy yet still quite restrained nose of pretty red berry liqueur-like aromas that include a whiff of herbal tea. The attractively fresh and vibrant medium weight flavors possess a juicy but still very well delineated mouthfeel before culminating in a punch and beautifully persistent finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. Note too that this is a very firm RSV that is going to require every bit of a decade to soften up and one that should reward 20+.

Winery Notes

It is always a privilege to taste a Romanée Saint Vivant. It is a rare emotion born from being close to a masterpiece of nature and man. It has a sumptuous, imposing appearance and is a bright ruby colour. The bouquet has a radiant richness passing from black cherries to raspberry jelly and blackberry cordial with violets. With age it develops notes of undergrowth and leather. This immense wine has expressive intensity and depth. It is smooth but not flabby, silky but structured, dense but elegant. Everything mingles and links together to create sublime complexity.
