The Story
A parcel in Romanée-Saint-Vivant directly opposite the legendary Romanée-Conti itself, tended by Géraldine Godot at Domaine de l'Arlot with the same biodynamic rigor and whole-cluster precision that define her house. Fifteen months in French oak (40% new) followed by tank refinement allows black cherry, iodine, violet, rose, and peony to emerge with elegant definition. The wine's svelte tannins and killer acidity announce a wine built for the cellar—30+ years of evolution lie ahead. Wood case presentation marks this as a collector's wine, destined for serious cellaring rather than casual enjoyment.
