Romanée-Saint-Vivant is a Grand Cru vineyard for Pinot Noir red wine in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy.
This vineyard is situated within the commune of Vosne-Romanée.
It takes its name from the Abbey of Saint Vivant, which in Medieval times owned several vineyards among the Vosne-Romanée Grands Crus.
There are several different vineyard owners in Romanée-Saint-Vivant today, although Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is the largest.
- In 1966, the last member of the Marey-Monge family leased the remaining 5.28 hectares to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
- Then they gave them an option to be first buyers if the vineyard would come up for sale.
- In 1988, the Neyroud family bought the vineyard, which they had inherited from Ms Marey-Monge.
- Wine from the time when Domaine de la Romanée-Conti leased it, rather than owned it, also has the name Marey-Monge on the label.
Only Grand Cru wines are produced by the Domaine, including this Romanée-Saint-Vivant, made from their 5.28-hectare plot.
DRC Romanée-St-Vivant 1990
The 1990 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Romanée-Saint-Vivant is a highly-acclaimed, classic red Burgundy from a vintage known for opulent fruit and longevity.
Furthermore, it boasts an intense bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, and autumnal notes, such as forest floor and spice (clove/cinnamon).
On the palate, it is, without a doubt, full-bodied and rich with smooth tannins and high acidity.
Additionally, you can expect tertiary flavours of leather, smoke, and cedar alongside a core of succulent fruit.
Ultimately, it concludes with a deep, penetrating finish.
In 1990, DRC produced, specifically, 24,026 bottles of Romanée-St-Vivant.
