Romanée St Vivant Grand Cru 2022 reveals the quiet power and precision of Pinot Noir from Domaine de la Romanée Conti. Drawn from the storied climat within Vosne Romanée in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits, the wine captures the natural generosity of the 2022 season while holding its line with purity, lifted perfume and measured structure. The berries were harvested in early September at optimal ripeness, delivering fruit of clarity and concentration that translates directly into a wine of fine detail and enduring grace. It is an articulate expression of place, shaped by a season that offered ripeness without heaviness and a clear voice of terroir.
Romanée St Vivant sits on finely textured soils that lend themselves to wines of perfume and poise. The domaine farms this site with meticulous attention to vine balance and soil health, an approach that supports even ripening and nuanced flavour development. In 2022, reduced parcels and naturally low yields further tightened the focus, producing a Grand Cru of depth and seamless flow. The vineyard’s long history and sheltered position contribute a quiet internal energy, revealing layers of red berry brightness, floral lift and subtle savoury complexity.
Winemaking at the domaine emphasises restraint and fidelity to site. The fruit is handled gently to preserve aromatic complexity, allowing the wine to articulate its inherent finesse and finely woven tannin. The 2022 Romanée St Vivant shows a balance of vivid fruit, refined structure and understated power, evolving in the glass with poise. Released in limited quantities, it offers a long view of what this Grand Cru can become with time, shaped by patience, precision and an unwavering connection to its origin.
