"The 2015 Romanée-St.-Vivant from Charles van Canneyt is a glorious wine in the making, but this is a bit more reserved out of the blocks than the Clos Vougeot and will need a few more years of bottle age to fully blossom. The bouquet is young and will be kaleidoscopic in its complexity when mature, as it wafts from the glass in a blend of sappy black raspberries and black cherries, raw cocoa, duck, a lovely mix of understated Vosne spice tones, great minerality and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows gorgeous sappy mid-palate depth, with refined, ripe tannins, tangy acids, lovely mineral drive and brilliant backend energy on the perfectly balanced and nascently complex finish. A great wine in the making."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
