Robert Parker - 94 Points

"The 2015 Romanee St Vivant les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru is a lovely wine, and one which is likely to surprise in blind tastings in a few years' time. A pretty nose of rose petal, ripe red cherry, dark chocolate, anise and incipient smoked duck introduces a full-bodied, supple wine with a lavish, expansive attack, good depth, and an ample chassis of fine-grained tannins. The finish is deceptively long. This wine seems likely to be one of the more approachable 2015 grand crus and should give pleasure throughout a broad window."

Antonio Galloni - 95 Points

"The 2015 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has an almost lascivious bouquet, presenting layers of lush red cherry, strawberry and cranberry fruit and a wonderful underlying mineralité. With 20 minutes of aeration it develops hints of oyster shell, even a faint tang of Thai fish oil. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp line of acidity and edgy tannins that lend tension and energy, turning quite linear and strict toward a finish that disguises the precocity of the growing season. Can we have more like this, please? Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting."
