ROMANEE ST. VIVANT 2012 DOMAINE DE LA ROMANEE-CONTI |

Romanée St. Vivant 2012 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Côte de Nuits, Grand CruBanded prior to inspectionAverage age of vines: 37 years. Total production 1148 cases. Yield: 24 hl/ha. Harvest: 28th and 29th September. In 2015, more closed on the nose than the two Echézeaux. Keen, a touch minty (its signature) and wild thyme. That lovely piercing fruit of Romanée St. Vivant, not 'thick' like Grands Echézeaux, but minerally, beautifully balanced and with great finesse of texture.
