"Great Romanée St. Vivant is arguably the classiest and most refined wine in all of Burgundy and yes, I include Musigny, Romanée-Conti and La Tâche in that comparison. Words honestly do not do justice to the sheer brilliance of the notably ripe kaleidoscopic nose that seamlessly combines a remarkable array of spices with the floral purple fruit aromas that serve as the perfect introduction to delicate, pure and mineral suffused flavors brimming with an underlying tension that provides a genuine sense of relief to the fantastically detailed finish that seems to go on and on without end. This is thrill a second quality juice and the class of the Leroy cellar in 2006."

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.
