🏰 Louis Latour's Romanée Saint Vivant Les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru 2011 is a 【magnificent expression of a prestigious Burgundy Grand Cru】, known for its aromatic complexity and velvety texture. Romanée Saint Vivant is a highly esteemed Grand Cru vineyard in Vosne-Romanée, Côte de Nuits, known for producing delicate yet profound Pinot Noir wines. Louis Latour has been a proprietor of a part of Romanée-Saint-Vivant since December 1898. The "Les Quatre Journaux" plot is particularly well-situated, just meters from Romanée-Conti. The 2011 vintage in Burgundy was generally considered good, with wines showing charm and soft tannins. This wine reveals an attractive hue, often a deep garnet. The bouquet is complex, with notes of black cherry, blueberry, raspberry, and sometimes violet and peony. With age, it can develop notes of undergrowth and leather. On the palate, it offers a velvety texture, good weight of fruit, and firm but ripe tannins. It's described as subtle, silky, well-balanced, with good structure and a long, harmonious finish. 🍴 This Grand Cru Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with sophisticated dishes. Consider fillet of beef with truffle sauce, pressed duck, chicken with ceps, or hare "a la royale". It also complements lamb entrees, wild mushroom risotto, and intensely-flavored cheeses like Epoisses. 🥂 An exceptional wine for a special occasion, a celebratory dinner, or a serious Burgundy tasting. Its elegance and complexity make it a memorable experience. This wine is at its peak between 2016 and 2030.
