Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Entering the early stages of its drinking window and what will be long life ahead, it was extremely giving showing what was an incredible balance of power and elegance. Seesawing back and forth between the two, seducing with its sweet floral and spice aromas and caressing the palate with its lovely silky texture and pure, rich and deep fruit. This is a wine with a truly exciting future and what a thrill to taste at this stage.

WOTN. Incredible nose

The 5th of 6 Grand Crus from Vosne Romanee in the 2016 vintage. Tasted blind. Darkish Ruby in colour. Lovely aromas of cherry, raspberry and that GC Vosne note of violets. A medium to full bodied delicious palate. Intoxicating - the epitome of Pinot Noir but tough to stand out in this company. Will outlive most of us.

(Our bottle)

A bloody opennose with broad raspberry and lush fruit. A hint of bright acid the. Broad succulent sweet midpalate and long and gorgeous.

#lapaulee reminiscing. Always so taken with the purity and power of Hudelot- Noellat.

2005 night winner. Big bright raspberry with white flowers on the nose. Have to try and find another bottle as this would be fun to drink i. Another 10 Years

So nice to go back over 30 years. Acidity basically gone but still has beautiful fruit. Drink up but you'll really enjoy it if you love aged Burgundy.

Red WOTN. In an absolutely perfect place.

So so young but drinking really well
