Romanée-St-Vivant

2004 Burgundy Red Blend

This vintage boasts a lovely crimson hue that entices the eye, while the nose reveals a bouquet of dark cherries, earthy undertones, and hints of floral notes.

The tannins are soft and refined, allowing the wine’s vibrant fruit intensity to shine through, making it wonderfully approachable yet layered. Its dryness complements the overall structure, resulting in a truly graceful experience that reflects the terroir of Burgundy's renowned Romanée-St-Vivant. This wine is not just a pleasure to drink but also a testament to the artistry of its production, capturing the essence of its origins.

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.
