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.
The Domaine produces only Grand Cru wines, including this Romanée-Saint-Vivant, made from their 5.28-hectare plot.
DRC Romanée-St-Vivant 1995
The 1995 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC) Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru is a highly collectible, mature Burgundy Pinot Noir.
The aromas are highly complex, featuring ethereal red and dark fruits, cherry, brown sugar, and porcini mushrooms.
On the palate, it is surprisingly fleshy, tender, and enveloping for a 1995 vintage Burgundy.
It displays fine mid-palate amplitude, melting tannins, and a mineral-driven, expansive finish.
Our early tastings of this wine noted aggressive, tight tannins.
However, more recent bottle openings show that time has beautifully rounded out the wine into a sweet, smooth finish.
In 1995, DRC produced, specifically, 12,221 bottles of Romanée-St-Vivant.
