Romanée-Saint-Vivant 2002

Robert Arnoux's Romanée-Saint-Vivant 2002 is a gem from the prestigious vineyards of Burgundy, made entirely of Pinot Noir. This vintage was particularly blessed with exceptional natural conditions, making it a great pick for a special moment. You're in for a treat when you open this one.

In volume 9, Laurent was captivated by this wine during a tasting. He spoke of it as if he were holding a bouquet of roses, reminiscent of the craftsmanship seen in DRC's Romanée-Saint-Vivant, with its rich aroma and flavor leaving a lasting impression.

Pour a glass and take a look at that color. It's been aging well, showing a brick-red hue with an orange tint at the rim. Take a sniff, and you'll find a burst of ripe black cherries and raspberries, with hints of tea and undergrowth adding complexity to the bouquet.

On the palate, it's a gentle attack with silky tannins wrapping around your senses. The acidity is vibrant, perfectly balancing the fruitiness, making each sip a delight. The finish is long, drawing you in deeper with its complexity as time goes on.
