Hudelot-Noellat, Romanee-Saint-Vivant 2004

The Romanee-Saint-Vivant 2004 from Hudelot-Noellat has entered a matured stage, but is still some years from full maturity. In the bouquet red fruits with notes of raspberries, amarena cherries and a slight hint of prunes. There is still a slight notes of pine needles but this seems to blow of as the wine get some air. On the palate quite openly knit fruit, still quite dark in the expression. It’s beautifully balanced with a fine expression of the terroir. It’s medium bodied with a good length and focus. Will improve over the next 3 to 7 years, and the very slight green 04 note will most likely disappear over time. A fine wine indeed.

Domaine J-J Confuron is one of the less prominent producers within this fine vineyard, and given the improvement from some of the ...
