2009 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee St. Vivant

2009 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee St. Vivant

Beautiful dark red color. Finesse, delicacy on the nose, with a slight touch of green that we expect from this cru, but also with fresh red fruits. In the mouth, we detect first the delicate texture, then the fat, nourishing character that evokes the deep soil of the climate, but without standing in the way of the transparency that finally take the wine towards lightness rather than power.

Critical Acclaim

97 Vinous

The 2009 Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru is classic RSV, with beautifully perfumed aromatics to match its gracious, mid-weight personality. Even in 2009, a warm year, the RSV is a Burgundy of sublime polish and enchantment.

96 Wine Spectator

Incisive and reserved on the nose, this red gives an immediate sense of its firm structure, which supports pure cherry, strawberry spice and mineral flavors. Ends with excellent length.

94 Wine Advocate

This bottle of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's 2009 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru was quite reserved, opening in the glass with notes of raspberries and cherries complemented by hints of rose petal, cinnamon and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and fleshy but a little introverted, it's girdled by juicy acids and underpinned by powdery tannins, concluding with a long and fragrant finish. Compared to the sheer expressiveness of the 2009 La Tâche, this was surprisingly introverted, though of course that may well have been simply the particular bottle or the day on which I encountered it.
