Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru Arnoux-Lachaux (Domaine) 2014

The wine

This wine is one of Burgundy’s legends. Just a few metres from Romanée-Conti, this plot is raised organically in order to protect its richness. In the winery, the grapes are put into vats without being crushed and undergo a cold pre-fermentation phase for 3 days. During the classic alcoholic fermentation, very few interventions are made, and these vary depending on the temperature. The barrelling process is left to gravity, and 30% of these are new wood. The wine has a splendid aromatic bouquet that lines the palate with fruity, floral and eventually spicy notes. A true marvel to be aged for 12-15 years in your cellar.
