A Grand Cru Pinot Noir of remarkable finesse, the 2022 Romanée Saint Vivant from Domaine de l’Arlot captures the essence of one of Burgundy’s most revered vineyards, just steps from Romanée Conti.
The nose is immediately captivating yet refined, moving from black cherry and raspberry jelly to blackberry cordial and violet florals, with subtle depth that suggests spice and forest floor as it opens. The palate is silky and expansive, with a seamless texture where density and elegance sit in perfect balance. Tannins are fine and gently enveloping, giving structure without weight.
This is a wine of expressive depth rather than force, shaped by a warm but balanced season that preserved freshness and acidity. The finish is long, poised and layered with floral and spice driven complexity. A natural match for truffled beef, duck or rich game dishes, and clearly built for long term cellaring.
