This may be less forward than the Sylvains Premier Cru wines but with time in the glass this Romane-St Vivant delivers an incredible density of perfumed fruit. Waves of flavour surge across the palate, delivering the detail of Suchots and the excitement of Malconsorts, yet with the additional power of this remarkable Grand Cru.

Less deep in colour than les Malconsorts. There is a beautiful floral character to this. It is a brilliantly fine-boned wine yet with great intensity, an explosive richness to the fruit lying in wait at the back of the palate. Glorious concentration, frankly delicious in every possible way.

2010 is the first vintage to be made in the new cuvérie at this domaine, but it will be the last that is vinified by Sylvain Cathiard himself, he is handing over responsibility to his son Sébastien in 2011. The harvest began on 25th September with volumes just a little down compared to previous years, but as ever, Sylvain and his son have produced a most seductive range of wines.

Sometimes I cant see why theres such a fuss about Grand Crus, especially given the prices. With this wine however theres no question. From the ethereal red fruit bouquet to the scintillating peacocks tail of flavours swarming across the palate, it is a humbling experience to taste a wine this fine. Drink 2012-2025.

A sophisticated, elegant nose of raspberries and cherries introduces this fantastic wine. The vast volume of fruit fleshes out the mid-palate, becoming ever more perfumed, before the lacy, sensual, delicate yet so powerful finish. It is hard to imagine a step up from Cathiard’s Malconsorts but this is at the top of the ladder.
