The 2022 Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru is a real head-turner. What a wine! As is so often the case, Romanée St. Vivant is not an obvious wine, rather it is a Burgundy of detail, of understatement, of total class. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Silky tannins wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, mint, white pepper, blood orange and exotic spice. The long, resonant finish is impossibly elegant. Haute couture.

The 2022 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru was picked on 7, 8 and 10 September. It's another of the more expressive, immediate wines in the range this year, bursting with aromas of dark berry preserve, confit orange, peonies, spices, smoked meats and new oak. Full-bodied, fleshy and unctuous, with a deep core of fruit, no hard edges and sweet structuring tannins, it concludes with a perfumed, vanillin-inflected finish.
