Romanée - Saint - Vivant Grand Cru

2009 Romanee-Saint-Vivant Pinot Noir

Domaine Follin-Arbelet Romanée - Saint - Vivant Grand Cru is a stunning expression of Pinot Noir, showcasing the elegance and depth characteristic of this prestigious Burgundy region. In the glass, this wine presents a rich ruby hue that hints at its complexity. The nose is a fragrant bouquet of red berries, cherries, and notes of spice, leading to a beautifully balanced palate. This wine is full-bodied, offering a luscious mouthfeel complemented by bright acidity that refreshes the senses. The tannins are wonderfully structured, lending a graceful firmness without overpowering the fruit’s vibrant intensity. The finish is long and alluring, leaving a lasting impression of berry fruit and subtle earthy undertones. This Romanée-Saint-Vivant is delightfully dry, making it a perfect pairing with an array of gourmet dishes, or simply enjoyable on its own.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
