The Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru: Louis Latour’s Legacy

Maison Louis Latour’s Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru “Les Quatre Journaux” is a jewel in the crown of Burgundy. This exquisite red wine originates from a privileged plot, “Les Quatre Journaux,” which sits mere meters from the iconic Romanée-Conti. As owners since 1898, Louis Latour has consistently crafted a wine that perfectly balances power, aromatic intensity, and the famed velvety texture of Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir.

Sommelier’s Tasting Notes

A true expression of its terroir, this Grand Cru is a marvel of aromatic depth and structural finesse.

• Appearance: Deep, intense ruby, developing a crimson hue with age.
• Bouquet: Complex and expansive, revealing layers of blackcurrant, dark cherry, mocha, and liquorice, with subtle hints of forest floor and spice.
• Taste: Silky and full on the palate. The wine is concentrated, displaying an elegant interplay of red fruit and spice, supported by tight, sophisticated tannins. The finish is long and powerful-a sign of its Grand Cru status.

This wine is an investment for the cellar, with a recommended drinking window extending up to 35 years.
