Description
The Domaine's holding covers 5.28 hectares in one single block. This formerly belonged to the Marey-Monge family but was farmed and made by the Domaine from 1966 and purchased by them in 1988. It is a beautifully refined, stylish wine, perhaps having more in common with La Romanée Conti itself than the more rugged Richebourg.

Critics reviews
David Schildknecht 96-97/100
Just as this years Echezeaux challenges the quality of the Grands-Echezeaux, another surprise of the vintage is a spectacular showing for the 2005 Romanee-St.-Vivant. A startlingly dark, mouth-watering amalgam of purple plum paste, blackberry preserves, bitter chocolate, toasted walnut, soy, and raw beef intrigues the nose. On the palate, this cleaves to the dark side, with viscous, mouth-coating concentration of lightly-cooked black fruits, charred meat, mysterious forest floor complexity, and bitter-sweet florality, but simultaneously delivers a vibratory finish like that of the energetic Grands-Echezeaux. With its palpable extract, profound personality, and refined but abundant tannins, this is surely wine to set aside for at least a decade.David Schildknecht - 30/04/2007
