Of the six red Grands Crus made here, Romanée-Saint-Vivant is the one critics reach for words like grace and enchantment to describe — the Richebourg is bigger, but this is the more refined and focused of the two. Thirteen years after harvest it was described as still at the beginning of its evolution, with decades of improvement ahead. Even in a sunny year like 2009, it keeps its perfume and its poise.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e❤️ Why We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• One of the most collectible wines on earth, from the most famous address in Burgundy\u003cbr\u003e\n• Whole-cluster, biodynamic, 100% new oak, unfiltered — the house method, unchanged\u003cbr\u003e\n• A single bottle, and a warm vintage now entering its stride\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🍽️ Food Pairing Ideas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n• Roast Bresse chicken or guinea fowl\u003cbr\u003e\n• Truffle, morels and wild mushrooms\u003cbr\u003e\n• Aged Comté and Époisses\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e👤 Who This Wine Is For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n✓ Serious collectors and once-in-a-lifetime occasions\u003cbr\u003e\n✓ Drinkers who prize perfume, silk and length over power\u003cbr\u003e\n✕ Not a wine to open young or without decanting time\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:40px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e98 points, Jane Anson for Decanter.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Romanée-Conti","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ 1 bottle","offer_id":48081536286772,"sku":"COL-DRC-Vivant-09","price":5200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1739\/2436\/files\/Domaine-de-la-Romanee-Conti-Romanee-Saint-Vivant-Grand-Cru-Cote-de-Nuits-France_6db3e79b-fc65-4a1e-a36b-17ed30174cb8.png?v=1786906022","url":"https:\/\/www.inbodega.com\/products\/domaine-de-la-romanee-conti-romanee-saint-vivant-grand-cru-2009-burgundy-france","provider":"InBodega","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
