Domaine de l'Arlot Grand Cru Romanée-St-Vivant 2010 Museum Release

In 1991, Domaine de l’Arlot purchased a few rows of Romanée-Saint-Vivant in the Quatre Journaux terroir, the ‘island’ of RSV below La Romanée-Conti, where Arnoux-Lachaux is also based. It’s a jewel of a plot, with 24 rows over a tiny quarter-hectare parcel planted in 1973. On average, it produces only three barrels of wine, and our average allocation is 12 to 18 bottles. The wine ages mostly in one-, two- and three-year-old barrels, with 40% new oak.
