Confuron's two grand crus are stunning wines that are among the stars of the vintage. The dark ruby/purple-colored 1991 Romanee St.-Vivant is sweeter in the mouth, with more perfume and a magnificent, full-bodied, voluptuous finish that nearly conceals the hefty tannin levels. A gorgeously balanced and structured wine, with layers of ripe fruit, this wine must have been made from astonishingly low yields. Drink it over the next 15 or more years. Thanks to the encouragement of their American importer, the Domaine J.J. Confuron, run by Monsieur Meunier, is making some of the most exciting wines in the Cote de Nuits. This firm made excellent 1991s, and their 1992s look to be impressive from barrel. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC.
