Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Romanée St Vivant les Quatre Journaux Grand Cru was showing more oak than the Follin-Arbelet Romanée St Vivant, although there is still plenty of fruit behind it. This feels more floral and at the moment bears the mark of the winemaking more. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a gentle grip and I would be seeking a little more structure on the finish. Yet, it is undeniably well balanced and feels long in the mouth. I have been critical of Louis Latour's recent wines -- but credit where credit's due. Tasted September 2016.
