Reviewed January 2014Cathiard's 2012 Romane´e St. Vivant captures the essence of this great site in its detail, nuance and exquisite balance. Mint, freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries and underbrush all meld together in a graceful, delicate Burgundy. Today, my sense is that the 2012 will provide readers with a wide drinking window of pure pleasure. This is a great, great showing. (AG)

There are three barrels of the 2012 Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru from 75-year old vines. It has a fragrant bouquet that offers a smorgasbord of red berry fruits and minerals to the point where the new wood in imperceptible. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, ripe tannins and very well judged acidity. The finish is more linear that other vintages that I have tried from barrel, nicely focused with a touch of spice popping up on the extraordinary long aftertaste. (NM)

A strikingly spicy nose offers up notes composed of essence of red pinot fruit, black currant, violets and sandalwood. In much the same fashion as the En Orveaux this possesses an ultra-refined mouth feel as the shaping tannins are quite fine-grained that could not be more different compared to that of the Malconsorts yet this is perhaps even longer. Even at such a young state of development this is a remarkably harmonious wine of understated grace. Wow.
