RATINGS

96Vinous / IWC

...beautifully defined bouquet. The fruit is darker than its peers: blackberry, boysenberry, hints of blueberry and crushed violet petals. This is quintessential Romanée-Saint-Vivant. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and perfectly judged acidity. This is endowed with disarming structure and poise, fanning out beautifully towards the finish.

PRODUCER

Jean-Jacques Confuron

Jean-Jacques Confuron is a 20-acre domain in Premeaux-Prissey, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits-St.-Georges. It is owned and operated by Alain and Sophie Meunier. The estate formerly belonged to Sophie’s father. The domain owns parcels in the Grand Cru vineyards of Romanee-St.-Vivant and Clos de Vougeot, as well as Premier Cru parcels in Vosne-Romanee, Chambolle-Musigny and Nuits-St.-Georges. Author Clive Coates has written that at Jean-Jacques Confuron “the quality of the wine is classy, poised and very fine. Alain Meunier’s wines deserve greater recognition.”

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits Villages, Vosne-Romanee, Romanee-St. Vivant

Romanee-Saint-Vivant is a 23-acre Grand Cru vineyard just on the northern edge of the commune of Vosne-Romanee in the Cote de Nuits. The vineyard faces east, has a gentle incline and an elevation of 250 to 265 meters. The soil is clay and limestone. Principal producers of Romanee-Saint-Vivant are Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, with 13.23 acres; Leroy, with 2.48 acres; and Domaine de Corton-Grancey/Louis Latour, with 1.9 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
