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 first and foremost a Burgundy Grand Cru, produced by estates: Arnoux-Lachaux, the famous Domaine de la Romanée Conti and the André Cathiard estate.

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 Vosne's 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 in 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 the 2001 vintage. Finally, the best vintages of the appellation are 1929, 1947, the 1959 vintage, 1971 and the 2005 vintage.

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