Romanée Saint Vivant Appellation

The Romanée-Saint-Vivant Appellation

Since 1936, Romanée Saint Vivant has been a French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC). The Romanée Saint Vivant appellation is primarily a Burgundy Grand Cru, produced by estates such as Arnoux-Lachaux, the famous Domaine de la Romanée Conti, and Domaine André Cathiard.

With over 9.3 hectares of vineyards, the appellation produces only Pinot Noir. The wines offer aromas of roses and cherries. This wine, with its fine and delicate texture, is considered the most "feminine" of the Vosne grand crus. The aging potential of a bottle of Romanée Saint Vivant is 10 to 20 years, up to 50 years for the greatest vintages.

The vintages 1943, 1952, 1954, 1985, and 1988 are exceptional vintages for the Romanée Saint Vivant appellation. The wines from 1953, 1961, 1962, as well as the 1989 and 1996 vintages are excellent. The appellation also includes exceptional vintages such as 1945, 1969, and 2001. Finally, the best vintages of the appellation are 1929, 1947, 1959, 1971, and 2005.

The ruins of the former abbey were bought to be restored by Domaine de la Romanée Conti: the largest producer of the appellation.
