De La Romanee Conti, Romanee Saint Vivant Grand Cru, 1999
🏰 The Jean Jacques Confuron Romanée Saint Vivant Grand Cru 1999 is a magnificent expression from one of Burgundy's most revered Grand Crus. The 1999 vintage in Burgundy is widely considered exceptional, producing wines of great concentration, balance, and longevity. This wine, made from Pinot Noir, would be showcasing a beautiful evolution, moving from primary fruit to complex tertiary notes. Expect an aromatic profile of dried red fruits, forest floor, truffle, and exotic spices, with a hint of floral elegance. The palate would be silky and refined, with integrated tannins and a long, ethereal finish. 【A profound Grand Cru from an outstanding Burgundy vintage】. Given its age, it offers a rare opportunity to experience a mature Romanée Saint Vivant. Always be mindful of the delicate nature of older wines, paying attention to the cork and capsule condition.
🥂 This Grand Cru is perfect for a truly momentous celebration, a high-stakes wine tasting, or as the pinnacle of a fine dining experience.
Serving advice: Handle the bottle with utmost care. Stand it upright for several days to allow any sediment to settle. A very gentle decanting for 30-60 minutes before serving is recommended to allow the wine to breathe and shed any light sediment, but avoid prolonged aeration as older Burgundies can fade. Serve at a cool cellar temperature, around 16°C (60°F).
🍴 Pair this exquisite Romanée Saint Vivant with equally refined dishes such as roasted squab, truffle-infused poultry, or delicate game meats. Its elegance also makes it a superb match for mushroom-based dishes or aged Comté cheese.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Jean Jacques Confuron is a wine producer located in Premeaux, near Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte de Nuits, Burgund, France. The viticultural portfolio is now approximately 95-percent Pinot Noir with small plantings of Chardonnay and Aligoté. The domaine has 8 hectares (19 acres) of vines across 14 appellations, including plots in the prestigious grand cru vineyards Clos de Vougeot and Romanée-Saint-Vivant. The domaine began with the marriage of Jean Confuron and Anne Marie Bouchard in 1926, bringing together the vineyards of two different families. These vineyards have been passed through the family since, and the domaine has expanded as well, picking up plots in the prestigious grand cru sites.
