Tasting notes
Aromas of raspberries, exotic spices, dried flowers, and candied peel preface the 2017 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru Les Quatre Journaux, a full-bodied, ample wine that's broader shouldered and more structured than even Latour's Chambertin, with a deep, layered core of juicy balancing acids, concluding with a long finish. It's a definite success.

About this wine
The 2013 Romanée St. Vivant Les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru displays more noticeable oak than the Follin-Arbelet Romanée St. Vivant, though plenty of fruit shines through. More floral in character, it currently reflects the imprint of its winemaking. The palate is medium-bodied, offering sappy red fruit and a gentle grip, though a touch more structure on the finish would be welcome. Nevertheless, it remains undeniably well-balanced, with impressive length on the palate.
