95pts Neal Martin writing for Vinous: "The 2022 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru was picked 7, 8 and 10 September at 39.8 hL/ha. It needs a little time to unfold in the glass. Scents of crushed iris flower commingle with predominantly red berry fruit, hints of peat and even camphor. This augurs a powerful and opulent RSV. The palate is silky smooth and rounded in texture, with what feels like slightly lower acidity than the preceding Grands-Échézeaux. It retains the veins of blue fruit that I observed from barrel. A light touch of white pepper emerges towards the multi-faceted finish. This is very alluring and sensual, showing wonderful persistence with a touch of Szechuan pepper lingering at the tip of the tongue on the aftertaste. Impressive, but outclassed by the Richebourg at the moment. Perhaps this cuvée bares the imprimatur of the growing season more than others? 1,975 cases produced."(02/2025) Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "One part replanted in 2010 is not yet incorporated, but maybe soon… Ooh – now here is perfume – silken and red! For the first time, the room falls silent. Mobile, almost fluid yet the structure is there, a small rub of über-fine grained tannin. A softness of touch despite the structure of the wine. A wine built for the word feminine but there is muscle here too, bravo! If the GE suggested greatness, it is much clearer here!"(02/2025)
