Brewery Vivant

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Marey-Monge Romanée-St. Vivant Pinot Noir 2005

Opened about an hour prior to service and enjoyed over the course of two days. Better on Day 2. The 2005 RsV pours a deep ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and dark fruited with ripe notes of black cherry, strawberry, red and purple flowers, licorice, dried green herbs, and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Always a special treat, the DRC comes across the most polished and frankly, primary in this lineup of legends. It fresh and beautifully balanced. It just needs time as the Day 2 experience indicated. The tannins are super sneaky. Drink now through 2050+ Bottle No. 1821/17392 — a day ago

Spectacular bottle! Colors changes from light brown to dark red with complex aromas of fruit, earth and initially some cigar. Beautifully balanced with later aromas of coca! Superb finish with all the prettiness of an RSV! — 5 years ago

A little wild. A lot of intensity and a long finish but pretty much all forest floor and underbrush. Interesting. — 7 years ago

Bon Vivant Chardonnay 2020

Winner of the 2026 Judgement of Paris and a terrific American Chardonnay, indeed. Not very buttery or oaky, very well balanced. And from OR not CA. Is OR the new CA? Maybe so! — 3 months ago

Nariz de um Borgonha mais evoluído do que deveria, boca de um frescor que parece de um Borgonha de 10 anos. No final, muito legal — 5 years ago
