95-98 points Jasper Morris, MW: "40% whole bunch vinification. Rich imperial purple colour. The bouquet suggests considerable depth of flavour to follow, but hasn’t yet offered any detail. The whole bunches just lift the wine a fraction, without dominating. Magical stuff on the palate with all the generous gracious star quality of a great vineyard. The acidity is perfectly integrated, the tannins are fine, and this is indeed very long. Really satisfying long finish. (Oct 2020)"
97 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Floral refinement in the Romanée-St-Vivant, wine with a chiseled and silky texture, provided with a bright and juicy acid support on the finish. Its intensity and maturity combine harmoniously. (2022)"

96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a seductive bouquet with red cherries, wild strawberry, cassis and crushed violet scents, beautifully defined and gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins. This has a satin-like texture, exquisite balance, just the right amount of salinity with a persistent finish. Wonderful edginess and mineralité - one of the best vintages of RSV from Géraldine Godot. Tasted at the Domaine de L’Arlot tasting at La Cabotte in London. Drink: 2027-2060. (Mar 2023)"
95 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "Youthful and primary in nature with cassis and leafy blackberry notes. Loads of density on the palate with fine tannins and a smooth, ripe, caressing texture. The oak is a little young and will need several years to properly integrate but this will be a lovely wine to drink over the next 15-20 years. Drinking Window: 2026-2040. (Nov 2021)"
93-95+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Unfurling with aromas of plums, blackberries and Griotte cherries, complemented by hints of loamy soil, raw cocoa, rose petals and toasty new oak, the 2019 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru is full-bodied, velvety and textural, with a sumptuous, enveloping and richly tannin profile. Bright and layered, it concludes with a broad, expansive finish. (Jan 2021)"
