Romanée Saint Vivant, Domaine Sylvain Cathiard 2019

Tasting Notes

Cool, airy and elegant aromas are composed by notes of exotic tea, a broad range of spice elements and a ripe mix of various dark berries. The palate impression of the super-sleek middle weight flavors is also quite restrained while flashing superb depth and huge length on the youthfully austere, dusty and focused finale. This is also very much structured to reward long-term cellaring and should also ultimately be brilliant.

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (85), January 2022

Wafting from the glass with aromas of creamy berry fruit, rich spices, plum preserves, loamy soil and new oak, Cathiard's 2020 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with impressively tangy acids and a tightly wound mid-palate. Still youthfully primary, it will be fascinating to revisit in bottle.
