Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Romanee Saint Vivant Grand Cru 1984 [Condition Note/Read Desc]
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or DRC as it is commonly known, is easily Burgundy's best-known and most collectible wine producer. Based in the Burgundy village of Vosne-Romanée, the domaine sells wines from eight different grand cru vineyards that span the length of the Côte d'Or. The most famous comes from the eponymous Romanée-Conti vineyard, and on average is the most expensive wine in the world.
Romanée-Saint-Vivant is a grand cru vineyard on the lower slopes of the Côte d'Or escarpment in Vosne-Romanée. It covers 9.4 hectares (23 acres) of land, making it the largest climat in the village – although it is of average size when compared with all of Burgundy's grand crus. Romanée-Saint-Vivant's Pinot Noir wines tend to be lighter and more aromatic than other grands crus in Vosne-Romanée.
The "Romanée" part of the title dates back to the time before the vineyards were sub-divided by various acquisitions and sales, and Romanée-Saint-Vivant was the eastern part of the larger Romanée site. The "Saint-Vivant" name comes from the order of L'Abbaye de Saint-Vivant whose monks originally tended to the vines.
