The Story
The Romanée Saint Vivant plot is wonderfully placed, a road separates it from Romanée Conti. Fabulously lavish soil, sublime soil that mixes clay and limestone, shapes one of the largest reds in the world.
History: created in 1098, the Citeaux Abbey has long contributed to the extension of the vine in Burgundy. The monks of Saint-Vivant de Vergy accompanied this new culture as evidenced by their name given to this climate of the Côte de Nuits.
Vinifcation: vinification takes place in wooden vats. Aging is carried out in barrels for 15 months, with a percentage of new wood very measured: 30 to 50%, which participates in the construction of the wine and the birth of soberly spicy notes. Bottling takes place after 18 months of aging. Until 1990, the vineyard was exploited by a winemaker from the village of Aloxe-Corton. The first wine signed by Domaine de l'Arlot carries the 1991 vintage.
