Domaine de la Romanee Conti St Vivant DRC 2015

DRC's Romanee St Vivant from the acclaimed 2015 vintage is a discreet, mineral-driven Grand Cru Pinot Noir with hidden depth beneath its elegant frame.

Light pressed flower aromas entwine with redcurrant and cranberry, giving a sense of airiness to a beautiful, mineral-rich bouquet of red and black fruit, rose petal and freshly shucked oyster shell - subtle but disarmingly elegant. Silky smooth on entry and extraordinarily pure, the palate carries a tingle of spice through a bravura finish, with a hidden depth that will repay several years in bottle.
