Romanee-Saint-Vivant is a Grand Cru vineyard in Vosne-Romanee, Burgundy. It was officially recognized as an appellation in 1936. The name originates from the Romenée vineyard and the monks of L'Abbaye de Saint-Vivant. The wines from Romanee-Saint-Vivant are made from Pinot Noir and are known to be lighter and more fragrant than the other Grands Crus in the area.
Romanee-Saint-Vivant is located on the Cote d'Or's lower slopes. It contains distinct soils derived from higher slopes which results in a deeper topsoil with more clay, giving the wines a more delicate and refined taste than those from other Vosne-Romanee vineyards.
