Reviewed January 2025
A beautiful and very even purple, not super saturated. Dark berries, blueberries as well as raspberries, this is a Romanée St-Vivant on an immense scale, with vibrancy as well as a massive wealth of fruit. Some velvet to the texture, but a future liveliness. The majesty of the vineyard is on perfect display here, despite the 14.7% and the tannins are very fine. Could be magical. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted Oct 2024.

A wine of surpassing elegance and finesse, offering a perfumed black cherry fruit aroma with hints of rose petals and liquorice; the aromas feature the spiciness of the fruit more than the effect of oak ageing. There is a bright burst of limestone freshness on the palate, a supple texture and a lingering finish. There is less overt tannin than in the Grands Echézeaux, but a finish that is just as long. Open in seven to 10 years and drink over the decades that follow. 24,772 bottles produced.(CC)

Charming on the nose with cherry pits, spice cookies, warm fireplace bricks and violets, this demonstrates balletic grace on the palate. A dynamic arch of acidity complements the sappy, extract-filled palate. Tingly, broad tannins (more than typically present here) manoeuvre the flamboyant flavors into a rich, long finish. This comes from one very large block of vines (DRC's holdings are more than five times the size of the second largest landowner) in the center of the cru, running from top to bottom.

Vinous

Review Date: 03/2026
The 2023 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is one of the more finessed wines in this range, as it so often is. Super-ripe dark red cherry, pomegranate, mint, blood orange and exotic spice tones stain the palate. The Romanée-Saint-Vivant shows all the natural richness of the year in its unctuous mid-palate and decidedly ripe profile. This, too, opens beautifully with time as the fruit recedes a bit and brisk acids and tannins take on a more central role.(AG)

Notes

95pts Neal Martin writing for Vinous: "The 2023 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru was picked at 37.9 hl/ha between September 12 and 15. This certainly bides its time in the glass, a mixture of red and black fruit, a touch more ripeness compared to the preceding Grands-Échézeaux. Here, iris flower and camphor vie for attention and impart a judicious exotic trait. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, a little chalky in texture like the Échézeaux, and dispensing with some of the rondeur that I observed from barrel. In its place, more mineralité and certainly a healthy pinch of cracked black pepper, with background blood orange notes. With my objective and harsh critic's hat on, this does not quite deliver the sustain, that peacock's tail finish of a top-drawer RSV, which is why in 2023, it is outflanked by the stunning Grands-Échézeaux. 24,772 bottles produced."(02/2026)
