Louis Latour Romanee-St-Vivant Les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru 2019

Louis Latour Romanee-Saint-Vivant Les Quatre Journaux 2019 shows pepper, liquorice and blackcurrant bud aromas. Generous and fresh on the palate, it reveals black cherry, liquorice and toasted notes, supported by silky tannins and impressive length. The wine is matured entirely in new French oak.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with braised hare, duck and truffle parmentier, or richly flavored mature cheeses.

100 Points - James Suckling

This is like staring into an abyss, but being overwhelmed with joy. The essence of fine pinot noir and of Burgundy, which you don't need to be any kind of expert to appreciate. Enormously concentrated, but so graceful, this makes you want to forget everything else you are supposed to be doing. Lean back and let yourself be overwhelmed. Drink or hold.

98 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Sourced from a vineyard just a stone's throw from Romanee Conti, this perfumed wine introduces itself with strikes of fresh raspberry, rose petal and sweet mesquite. It's penetrating and pure in red fruit flavors but ruffled by hints of anise, smoke and dusty earth. Editors' Choice.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The king of the cellar is the 2019 Romanee-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru Les Quatre Journaux, a full-bodied, layered and muscular wine that's rich and concentrated, evocative of peonies, blackberries and exotic spices. Long and penetrating, this is very promising. Range: 93-95.
