Domaine Arnoux-Lachaux, Romanée Saint-Vivant 2015

The Romanée Saint-Vivant is a tremendous wine made from a plot in the southern corner just next to the Domaine Cathiard plot. The RSV is a step up in concentration and weight … and will in the future outrank the delightful Aux Reignots. The bouquet offer layered and detailed red and dark fruit spiced with cinnamon, rose petals and all spice. On the palate layered deep fruit – darker and more backward then the vibrant Reignots – and perhaps lacking a bit of its vibrant freshness. It’s a big and complex wine that needs time to unfold.
