Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru 2022 100VM / 95WA

100 pts Vinous Media – Antonio Galloni
The 2022 Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru is a real head-turner. What a wine! As is so often the case, Romanée St. Vivant is not an obvious wine, rather it is a Burgundy of detail, of understatement, of total class. The aromatics alone are mesmerizing. Silky tannins wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, mint, white pepper, blood orange and exotic spice. The long, resonant finish is impossibly elegant. Haute couture. 1925 cases produced. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2025

The 2022 Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru was picked on 7, 8 and 10 September. It’s another of the more expressive, immediate wines in the range this year, bursting with aromas of dark berry preserve, confit orange, peonies, spices, smoked meats and new oak. Full-bodied, fleshy and unctuous, with a deep core of fruit, no hard edges and sweet structuring tannins, it concludes with a perfumed, vanillin-inflected finish.

The 2022 Richebourg Grand Cru is magnificent. And I say that as someone who at times struggles to connect with this site. Not this year. Sepia-toned, ample and layered, with mind-blowing balance, the 2022 offers up an exotic mélange of black fruit, gravel, incense, licorice, new leather and whole cluster savoriness, all with its usual reserve of power. The 2022 is quite simply one of the best Richebourgs in recent memory. For those who can, don’t miss it! - By Antonio Galloni on March 2025

The 2022 Richebourg Grand Cru was picked on 31 August and 1-4 September at 42.6 hL/ha. It has a scintilla more pixelation than the Romanée-Saint-Vivant when the two cuvées are juxtaposed. Out of barrel, I had the RSV with its nose in front, but the Richebourg is having none of that, delivering stunning aromatics of mineral-infused dark berry fruit, shucked oyster shells, lavender oil and light Japanese wakame scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a very mineral-driven entry to continue that theme. This is heavenly in terms of harmony and grace to the extent that you almost do not notice the untrammeled power wound up in this Richebourg. Fabulously sapid on the finish, it fans out and leaves a tingle of white pepper on the aftertaste. Magnificent. 1,211 cases produced. By Neal Martin on February 2025

The 2022 Richebourg Grand Cru has turned out beautifully. It wafts from the glass with aromas of sweet plums and raspberry preserves mingled with notions of pipe tobacco, exotic spices and orange zest and is framed by a deft touch of classy new oak. Full-bodied, rich and layered, it’s ample and enveloping, with a generous core of fruit and a lavish, suave profile.

La Tache Grand Cru 2022 99VM / 98WA
(1 bottle available)
The 2022 La Tâche Grand Cru was picked 4 to 6 September at 37.6 hL/ha. It is a vintage that demands time in the glass. Occasionally, La Tâche gives immediate pleasure, but the 2022 is more contained and reserved—it hides its secrets well. Eventually, the 2022 offers a mélange of red and black fruit, Earl Grey and undergrowth. Interestingly, there remains a patina of whole-cluster herbal notes that will be subsumed with time, though obviously that indicates this is not a La Tâche primed for early drinking. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiseled tannins and a killer spine of acidity that lends a frisson of tension from start to finish. here is a linearity about this La Tâche allied with sapidity, extremely complex with ineffable precision. This is a brilliant La Tâche that flirts with perfection. 2,227 cases produced. - By Neal Martin on February 2025

The 2022 La Tâche Grand Cru is the most complex and compelling wine in the range at this early stage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries and plums mingled with rose petals, orange zest, exotic spices, incense and wintergreen, it’s full-bodied, rich and layered, with a deep and pure core of fruit, lively acids and sweet, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, gently oak-inflected finish. It was harvested the fourth through the sixth of September, just after the Grands-Échézeaux, and bottled in March 2024.

The 2022 La Tâche Grand Cru is quite promising in its aromatics but less welcoming on the palate, where it feels a touch strict today. White pepper, sage, mint, blood orange and star anise are nicely lifted. For now, the 2022 La Tâche is somewhat of an enigma. Perhaps I caught it at a slightly awkward moment in time. Or perhaps, some of the other wines in the range just shine brighter in 2022. We shall see.- By Antonio Galloni on March 2025

The 2022 Vintage
After a small 2021 vintage where the vines had to endure a difficult growing season, Mother Nature’s pendulum swung the other way and offered our vignerons a more generous vintage in 2022. The growing season can be described as hot and dry, inspiring the vines growth as well as reducing the threat of diseases. Some light rain at the right time allowed the fruit to fully ripen through the late growing season to harvest.

To quote the Domaine: “The results can already be seen: colors are wonderful and aromas already rich with perfumes. On the palate we can detect supple tannins, but above all freshness, finesse and elegance that are surprising if we remember the weather conditions of the year. Another proof that the genome of Bourgogne grape varieties can adapt to conditions that are different to what they were in the last century.”

This vintage represents the 46th release of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

I disagree with not posting pricing in CC.

Not our rules, the domaine and the importer require it or you lose your allocation the next year if you post about them for sale online.

My ol favorite line, “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”

Thanks a lot Han!

Agreed, forum rules require a price.

Not actually.

These are the rules of commerce corner:

Commerce Corner Rules:

25 post minimum to create a new thread/post your offer to Commerce Corner OR 5+ years membership on Wine Berserkers (BerserkerBusiness members exempted) This is done in order to prevent drive-by posts from users who have not yet established themselves as part of the community. Commerce Corner is designed as a benefit to those who are active in this community. If it is determined that you use Commerce Corner solely for financial gain, without any valuable contribution to the community as a whole, your access to Commerce Corner will be removed.

NO public comments about pricing or the thread author’s offer on the forum - if you have a comment, criticism, or offer to make, take it to PM, not here.

Retailers/ITB: If you are going to post an offer or LTB here on the forum, you must be a BerserkerBusiness member (contact me via Private Message for details). Your post will show a username in bold blue, which means you are a BerserkerBusiness member, and therefore allowed to make commercial posts here. Commercial posts made by those who are not BerserkerBusiness members will be immediately removed by Moderators.

The only people in violation are in fact the folks commenting about price.

It’s pretty simple. Just send them an email and they will respond with the asking price. I’d think to anyone on this board it would be pretty clear why a retailer might not want to publicly post a price for these particular wines.

Under Advice there are some lines about helpful ways to price, but not requirements.

Deleted - moved to the rules post

there has always been a distinction between WB businesses and WB the rest of us

Businesses don’t have to have 25 posts or 5+ years to post in CC

So you want this retailer to lose their allocation of a wine you were most likely not buying anyway?

Don’t get why anyone gives AF this much

Brian,
Robert posted the rules section. You posted the ADVICE section.

You are railing about a Berserker Business posting related to highly allocated wine. The reason for not posting the price was clearly stated. Someone posted about a successful transaction at a fair price after that. You are making an issue of nothing.

BTW, thanks to all the haters driving attention to the post I have like 15 emails asking for pricing today,
