"The 2016 Romanée-St.-Vivant from Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat is quite black fruity this year, but perfumed, elegant and soil-driven at the same time and this is going to be a superb example of the vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a youthful blend of back raspberries, sweet dark berries, a lovely base of minerality, dark chocolate, a touch of fresh nutmeg, gamebird and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, long and velvety, with a superb core, lovely focus and grip, fine-grained tannins and a long, vibrant and very elegant finish. Fine, fine juice. 2030-2100."

The 2016 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru from Hudelot-Noëllat is a masterclass in Burgundy’s most ethereal terroir. From 80+ year-old vines rooted in one of the most coveted Grand Cru sites in Vosne-Romanée - just steps from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti - this is Pinot Noir at its most refined and hauntingly beautiful.

As critic Allen Meadows put it "In particular, the Richebourg and Romanée St. Vivant are simply sensational and worth a special search to track down"

Alain Hudelot and cellar master Vincent Mugnier farm and vinify in a natural, minimalist style: no green harvesting, whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts, extended maceration, and restrained use of new oak. The result is a wine that delivers pure, floral aromatics, silky texture, and deep mineral complexity, with oak spice seamlessly integrated behind layers of red fruit and earth.

This bottling sits among the finest expressions of Romanée-St-Vivant, a vineyard prized for its balance of power and grace. The 2016 vintage is particularly elegant, with vivid energy and structure to carry it for decades.
