Domaine Saint Nicolas ' Viventius cuvée is made from old Pinot Noir vines, which produce the lowest yields on the wine estate. Derived from the Latin "vivere", the name of this cuvée pays tribute to its intensely lively, taut character.
Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin: Domaine Saint Nicolas' cuvée Viventius , formerly known as La Grande Pièce, is a pleasure wine that requires a little patience to reveal its full alchemy. Keep an eye on it for at least a decade!
The nose opens with fresh menthol notes, sweet spices and crisp red fruits. Aeration reveals a mineral depth and complexity more reminiscent of the Côte de Nuits than the Vendée, with remarkable extra energy!
The palate expresses gourmet flavors of licorice and dark berries, whose energy fills the material with a juicy, racy persistence. The elegant finish thrills the palate with its prodigiously salivating minerality. A masterpiece!
