2021, Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru
de L'Arlot

"At once dark and perfumed this Romanee-Saint-Vivant is still very young, but the wine has terrific depth and tension for the vintage, the very fine tannins beautifully integrated with the mineral acidity on focused linear finish. This really needs some time to open up. From biodynamically grown grapes. Best from 2025."

"Relatively spared in 2021, this petite parcel of 25 ares produced 36 hl/ha. Thank goodness, too, because this is very tasty. Red currants and cranberries mingle with toasty oak and subtle mineral tones. Sophisticated tannins meld with the refreshing undercurrent of acidity to guide the gentle flavors into a long finish. This is just ravishing!"

"A glowing brisk crimson colour. The bouquet is where it belongs, at the heart of Vosne-Romanée. Still needs a little teasing out though. Good energy at the front of the palate, a useful thread of acidity, the oak lends a light char, then the fruit returns to sweep through to the finish. The acidity is just right, tannins are refined. Fresh crunchy red berry fruit to finish. Drink from 2029-2036."
