Description
The 2012 Romanée St Vivant, incidentally served before Richebourg rather than afterwards unlike previous years, was picked on September 28 and 29 at 24 hectoliters per hectare. There is a wondrous, ethereal purity to this 2012, a little more sumptuous than I recall it from barrel, with kirsch and freshly picked strawberries. As it opens, it gains more and more sensuality. The palate is rounded, almost curvaceous in the mouth, clearly more concentrated than the 2011 with a sense of authority and purpose, a bit of daring-do on the long finish. It leaves a slightly ferrous residue on the aftertaste, completing what is a marvelous and sensual Grand Cru.

Tasting note
2017年的DRC羅曼尼聖維望大特級園是勃艮第釀酒藝術的典範。這款有機葡萄酒，曾由'Domaine Marey-Monge'生產，自1966年起由DRC精心打理，緩緩展開，揭示出紅莓、酸櫻桃和一系列乾花的交響樂章。口感和諧細膩，起初集中而輕盈，中等酒體，單寧細膩。這款酒的宏偉酸度和充滿活力的能量宛如一束愉快的花束，隨著時間的推移變得更加豐富和開放。這款大特級園葡萄酒以其捕捉陽光、風、成熟度和新鮮度的精髓而閃耀著宏偉的平衡。最好在經過兩小時的深思熟慮的醒酒後享用，並與紅酒燉鴨胸或豐盛的蘑菇燴飯等菜餚完美搭配。
The 2017 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is a testament to the art of Burgundian winemaking. This organic wine, once produced by 'Domaine Marey-Monge' and now under the meticulous care of DRC since 1966, unfolds slowly to reveal a symphony of red berries, sour cherries, and an array of dried flowers. On the palate, it is nothing short of harmonious, with a delicate yet focused start, medium body, and the finest of tannins. The wine's grand acidity and vibrant energy are like a cheerful floral bouquet, gaining richness and openness as it lingers. With a balance that captures the essence of sun, wind, ripeness, and freshness, this Grand Cru shines with a grandiose balance. It is best enjoyed after a thoughtful decanting of two hours and pairs exquisitely with dishes such as duck breast in red wine reduction or a hearty mushroom risotto.
