L'Arlot Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru 2023

94-96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2023 Romanée-Saint-Vivant Grand Cru has a gorgeous bouquet that blossoms in the glass. Dark cherries, touches of violet and iodine just soar with aeration—wonderfully delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins and a killer line of acidity, very harmonious through the linear and poised finish. This is quite understated for an RSV. Lovely. Drink: 2027-2045. (Jan 2025)"

94-96 points Jasper Morris (Inside Burgundy): "A medium deep ruby crimson colour. The fruit takes a little coaxing but there is evidently plenty waiting to emerge. The ripeness is slightly more evident here in the darker fruit profile, heading towards black raspberry, but the wine is by no means too ripe. There remains a crispness to the structure and finish. Understated in the Arlot style, but fine. This should build in bottle, to add volume of fruit to its undoubted purity. (Nov 2024)"

94-96 points Fine Wine Review: "Velvet, creamy texture, medium weight, less developed than others right now. Very long in mouth. Needs plenty of time. (12/13/24)"

95 points Christy Canterbury MW (TimAtkin.com): "Attractively perfumed with rose buds, lilac, red cherries and grated spices, this seems delicate on the nose. On the palate, it does a 180-degree turn, showing demure concentration, grainy tannins and seamless, soaring acidity. Cranberries and raspberries push into the powerful, aristocratic finish. Beautifully structured, this needs time. (Jan 2025)"
