This 1/3 hectare vineyard is located at the very south of the appellation, at a fifty meters distance from Romanée-Conti. The block is ploughed by horse to preserve these old vines, which average 90 years of age. The soil is primariy dark clay. Vinified with 100% whole cluster. Aged in oak.

"Lachaux's 2020 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has turned out brilliantly in bottle, soaring from the glass with complex aromas of sweet berries and plums mingled with rose petals, orange rind, peonies, incense and spices. Full-bodied, deep and layered, it's velvety and seamless, with a deep, enveloping core of cool, vibrant fruit framed by sweet, supple tannins and concluding with a long, pure and pungently floral finish."
