The commune of Vosne-Romanée hosts Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
The Abbey of Saint Vivant, which in Medieval times owned several vineyards among the Vosne-Romanée Grands Crus, named it.
Today, several different vineyard owners manage Romanée-Saint-Vivant, although Domaine de la Romanée-Conti manages the largest portion.
- In 1966, the last member of the Marey-Monge family leased the remaining 5.28 hectares to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
- Subsequently, they gave Domaine de la Romanée-Conti an option to be the first buyers if the vineyard came up for sale.
- Then in 1988, the Neyroud family sold 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 displays the name Marey-Monge on the label.
