This Quebec based consignor was fortunate to work for the SAQ while he was in school, and it was during this time that he discovered his passion for wine. It also afforded him the opportunity to take part in tastings and meet various producers from around the world. In 2009 he tasted a 1980 Moulin-à-Vent and was so impressed by the evolution of the wine and by the quality and complexity of the tertiary aromas that he began to collect. He purchased all from the SAQ and stored them in his father-in-law’s cellar which is temperature and humidity controlled.
The wine in this lot has a score of 95 from Robert Parker and the following tasting note -The 2013 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru was picked on the afternoon of October 10 and then the following day, cropped at 17.5 hectoliters per hectare. The bouquet is adorable, so pure and comely, with shimmering red cherries, raspberry and orange blossom, a suggestion of cold flint imparting an enigmatic element—a Romanée-Saint-Vivant that is clearly going to bide its time. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, impressive weight and almost a surfeit of freshness. There is tension from start to finish that effortlessly disguises the weight, the penetration on the sustained finish. What a wonderful wine from the domaine. Production is 847 cases.
