Description
Romanée St. Vivant 2011
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru
Consecutive bottle numbers, case banded until inspection; Numéros de bouteilles consécutifs, caisse cerclée jusqu'à l'inspection
24.7 hl/ha. Average age of vines: 37 years. Total production: 1164 cases. In 2014, there is something "irony" and mineral on the nose - really fascinating. Romanée St. Vivant has had a complete transformation. Excellent cherry fruit on the palate. Very nice crispness, with cherry stone flavours. Mineral all through. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
