Romanée-Saint-Vivant 2009 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

This bottle holds 0.75 L of Romanée-Saint-Vivant 2009, a red Grand Cru made by Domaine de la Romanée-Conti from Pinot Noir. Our suggested drinking window is 2024–2049, so the wine is inside it today.

The estate’s holding in Romanée-Saint-Vivant is about 5.29 ha. It is not a monopole, unlike the estate’s Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, so other growers also make wine under the appellation.

Vosne-Romanée and the Côte de Nuits

The appellation covers still red wine and lies within the commune of Vosne-Romanée, in Burgundy. It was first recognised by the decree of 11 September 1936. Vosne-Romanée has six grand crus: Romanée-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant and La Grande Rue. They are part of the 24 grand cru appellations of the Côte de Nuits, a hillside that runs from Dijon in the north to Corgoloin in the south and produces mainly red wine from Pinot Noir.

How the estate came to own it

The Marey-Monge portion of Romanée-Saint-Vivant was leased to the estate in 1966 by Mlle Marey-Monge. The estate’s partners bought it in September 1988. In 2009–2019 it made between 10,459 bottles (2013) and 21,076 bottles (2014) a vintage.

Reading the 2009 vintage score

The Robert Parker Wine Advocate vintage chart gives red Côte de Nuits 2009 a score of 95 and the letter E, which it defines as early maturing and accessible. That is a score for the whole vintage in the area, not for this wine.

How the estate farms its vineyards

The estate’s vineyards have been farmed organically since 1985. It trialled biodynamic methods from 1990 to 2006 and adopted them across the estate afterwards. It obtained Biodyvin certification in 2016 and is a Biodyvin member.

Questions buyers ask

Is Romanée-Saint-Vivant a monopole of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti?

No. The estate owns about 5.29 ha of it, but the appellation is shared with other growers. Only Romanée-Conti and La Tâche are monopoles of the estate.

Is Romanée-Saint-Vivant the same wine as Romanée-Conti?

No. They are separate grand cru vineyards and appellations in Vosne-Romanée. The estate owns all 1.81 ha of Romanée-Conti (a monopole), while it holds about 5.29 ha of Romanée-Saint-Vivant, which other growers share.

Is the 2009 Romanée-Saint-Vivant ready to drink?

Our suggested drinking window is 2024–2049, so it has begun. The Robert Parker Wine Advocate vintage chart describes red Côte de Nuits 2009 as early maturing and accessible; that describes the vintage across the area, not this wine specifically.

When was the Romanée-Saint-Vivant appellation first recognised?

The appellation was first recognised by the decree of 11 September 1936. It covers still red wine within the commune of Vosne-Romanée.

What grape is Romanée-Saint-Vivant made from?

It is a red wine from Pinot Noir, produced in the commune of Vosne-Romanée in the Côte de Nuits.
