Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Romanée St Vivant les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru from Louis Latour has the classiest nose of three Romanée Saint Vivant encountered, mineral-rich red berry fruit, effortless and surfeit with class. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, wonderful acidity and poise, silky smooth in the mouth with great precision on the lightly spiced finish. This might just well be the best recent vintage of any wine that I have ever tasted from Louis Latour. To say it drew gasps of surprise when its identity is revealed is no exaggeration.

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.

Rich and succulent, exhibiting sweet cherry and raspberry flavors framed by tobacco and spice accents. Elegant and beautifully balanced, finishing with a long, fruit-filled aftertaste. Best from 2019 through 2032. 285 cases made.

Burghound

This possesses what is arguably the prettiest nose in the range with its lilting and attractively layered nose of Vosne style spices, red currant, plum and violet scents. There is a velvety texture to the highly sophisticated and delicious middle weight flavors that display fine mid-palate concentration before terminating in a beautifully complex, balanced and dusty finish. This is quite firmly structured and while the descriptor robust is rarely used in conjunction with the typical RSV, this example might very well qualify.

Winery Notes

Our Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru "Les Quatre Journaux" 2012 has a deep ruby colour. Its nose offers aromas of mocha, blackcurrant and grilled almond. Its mouth, ample and fresh, reveals notes of almond, blackcurrant and sap. Nice persistence.
