  • Burghound, January 2003, Score: 96

    This too has a bit of obvious toast to go with the super sexy and perfumed, ripe, spicy, lush blackfruit nose and stylish, unbelievably intense and pure flavors that almost completely hide the powerful tannins beneath wave after wave of complex, high-toned flavors and fantastic length. This just etches itself onto the palate with spectacular precision. Seamless and beautifully harmonious, it rises above the Renardes by virtue of sheer class. Simply unbelievable and this should age for decades. Burghound issue 9 January 2003. 96/2018-30

  • Robert Parker, June 2003, Score: 91

    The medium ruby-colored 2001 Romanee-St.-Vivant has a highly expressive nose of super-ripe grapes, blackberries, and violets. Medium-bodied, it slathers the palate with layers of floral blackberry and cassis flavors. This fruit-forward wine displays outstanding depth, a plump, flavorful personality, and the some hints of stemminess in the finish. It should be drunk over the next 6-7 years. Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy liked both the 2000 and 2001 vintages, stating that she was “rather pleased with the 2001s as they will bring lots of joy to those who drink them young” and that the 2000s “are candied fruit, reduction of fruit, the essence of fruit.” Many Burgundians chose to bottle their 2001 early in order to “trap” the fruit in the bottle, but Bize-Leroy beat them all to the punch, having completed the bottling process by early September, 2002. Typically an early bottler, Mme. Bize-Leroy felt that the 2001s would lose their fruit to either oxidation or the required sulfuring if left in the barrel for a longer elevage. Overall, Domaine Leroy's 2001s are a success, though many were found to reveal stemmy, woody tannin in theirfinishes. If this characteristic melts away quickly, my scores on those wines will appear overly conservative. Drink: 2003-2010 Importer: Martine's Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400

Romanée Saint Vivant

Romanée-St-Vivant, which takes its name from the monastery of St-Vivant founded in c. 900, is a Grand Cru vineyard in Vosne-Romanée on the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. It is the largest of Vosne-Romanée's six Grands Crus and produces red wine only. The vineyard is located on the slope to the north of the town of Vosne-Romanée and is the nearest vineyard to this village. Romanée-Saint-Vivant's soils are deep and rich in clay and lime, which means the wines of Romanée-St-Vivant are usually lighter and less powerful than its neighbours'. Domaine de la Romanée Conti is the largest proprietor, owning over half of the area's 9.5 ha.
