The 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is another spectacular rendition of this routinely profound cuvée. Wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, rose petals, peonies, violets, incense, orange oil and exotic spices, it's full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with a broad attack and a layered, multidimensional mid-palate. Seamless and complete, it's a sensual, intensely perfumed wine that ranks among Lalou Bize-Leroy's greatest achievements to date.

The 2018 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is a profound young wine, unwinding in the glass with a captivating bouquet of red berries, plums and orange rind mingled with exotic spices, rose hips, peonies and smoke. Full-bodied and deep, it's layered and concentrated, with a seamless, multidimensional profile, bright animating acids and ripe, powdery tannins. Long and resonant, this is an incipiently dramatic but youthfully tightly wound Romanée-Saint-Vivant that will reward extended bottle age with remarkable aromatic range and textural sumptuousness. Cropped at 11.5 hectoliters per hectare, only 1,160 bottles were produced.

The 2017 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru reveals a beautiful bouquet of dark wild berries, exotic spices, wilted rose petals and forest floor, discreetly framed by a touch of new oak.

This is a quintessentially elegant, ethereal Romanée-Saint-Vivant.

One of the high points of the vintage, the 2016 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru captivates the olfactory senses with its striking bouquet of rose petals, citrus rind, cassis, raspberries, dark chocolate and sweet Asian spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, utterly complete and multidimensional, with satiny structuring tannins, immense concentration without the weight and a long, electric and perfumed finish. This is a magisterial achievement and a benchmark against which other wines may be measured.

The 2015 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru from Domaine Leroy is one of the most magical wines to be found in Burgundy in this vintage, soaring from the glass with a bouquet of kaleidoscopic complexity, featuring notes of rose petal, blood orange, potpourri and bright berry fruit, with only hints of the savory complexity to come with bottle age. On the palate, the wine is deep, full-bodied and extraordinarily multifaceted, with immense concentration, incredible energy and a long, resonating finish. Both more elegant and more reserved than the gloriously dramatic Richebourg that followed it, this is a profound Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
