Winemaker Notes
The Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru “Les Quatre Journaux” 2022 has a deep, dark color with ruby hues, and a nose with aromas of blackcurrant buds, cherries and pepper. The ample palate reveals notes of blackcurrant again, then of licorice. The tannins are silky and the finish airy and persistent.
Pair with hare, duck and truffle parmentier and mature cheeses.

Extremely fine, youthful nose with a totally fascinating floral beauty. Incredibly silky, this great Burgundy masterpiece shines with breathtaking finesse, the enormous concentration and power totally underplayed. Super-long and super-refined finish with gigantic mineral freshness. It feels as if the wine puts you on a silver tray and lifts you up to the heavens.

The folklore of Romanée-Saint-Vivant traces back to the 9th century. The name “Saint-Vivant” originates from the Abbey of Saint-Vivant, a powerful Benedictine monastery near Vergy. Louis Latour—one of the rare négociants to own land in Romanée-Saint-Vivant rather than simply sourcing fruit or purchasing must—likely acquired the parcel after the French Revolution. The 2022 Louis Latour Romanée-Saint-Vivant Les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru stands out in the forest of wines with its radiant, fragrant, and effusive aromas of red fruits, black pepper, and exotic spices. Tuck this wine away in your cellar, and when the time is right, serve it alongside the ripest, most funky Époisses you can find. (Tasted: June 27, 2025, San Rafael, CA)

Featuring black cherry, black currant, violet, graphite, sandalwood and oak spice aromas and flavors, this silky red is pure and seductive. There’s also a firm underlying structure, with its saturated fruit fused to an ironclad frame.
