Description

Based in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is arguably the most famous and collectible wine producer in the world. DRC – as it is frequently called – offers wines from eight different grand cru vineyards that span the length of the Côte d`Or. This 2016 Romanée-Saint-Vivant comes from their 5.29-hectare plot in the prestigious vineyard, which has been fully biodynamic since the 2008 vintage. The 2016 vintage is perfectly approachable despite its youth. Expect notes of violets, sour cherries, wet stones and herbs. Powerful but also delicate.
