The 2020 Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru is one of the most surprising wines in this lineup. In many ways, the RSV is the quintessential wine at DRC in 2020, as it captures all the qualities that make this vintage so appealing. Sage, mint, blood orange, chalk and red-toned fruit are all lifted by bright saline notes that lend energy and drive from start to finish. A Burgundy of dynamic energy and precision, the 2020 RSV is quite simply dazzling.
Romanée-St.-Vivant is austere in aroma, hinting at blackberry and black currant flavors aligned to a compact frame. There is tension and finesse, with a cool, reserved feel, yet fine overall harmony.
As it was from barrel, the 2020 Romanée-St-Vivant is strikingly bright and fresh, showing now a lovely red currant and pomegranate fruit with spice and hints of black liquorice, along with well-integrated oak aromas. The texture is silky and shows great finesse; while it is pleasantly accessible, it is decidedly a lighter style, but not lacking length or substance. This is the wine to drink while you are waiting for the others to come around, yet is should age gracefully. The 5.29 hectare holding here was picked August 26 – 27 to produce 20,611 bottles.
Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, rose petals, violets, sweet spices and hints of cracked pepper, the 2020 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru is full-bodied, layered and intense, with a beautifully pure, vibrant core of strikingly concentrated fruit, concluding with a long, resonant finish. More tightly wound than the Grands-Échézeaux, it will demand some patience.
