DOMAINE JEAN GRIVOT
Vosne-Romanee
A classic Domaine that has since the early ninetees retaken its position among the absolute best producers of Vosne-Romanee. The portfolio of vineyard holdings is breathtaking.
Their most famous is the Richebourg. With only 11 owners in total, Grivot owns 0.32 hectares. This is the most sought after part of the total Richebourg Grand Cru vineyard.
Second in the line up is Echezeaux, though some argue this is where the excellence of Grivot reaches its true heights. The lieu-dit Les Cruots bordering Suchots and Les Champs Traversins is closer to Musigny.
The third grand cru is Clos Vougeot where Grivot makes a very good wine in each vintage from vines on the lower slopes which shows what limited yields and highly skilled winemakers can do.
Next to these grand crus the Grivot Vosne-Romanee premier crus of Les Suchots and Les Brulees attract a lot of attention as these are phenomenal wines with great ageing potential.
Jean Grivot, Clos de Vougeot 1999
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
Tasting note: Very good colour. Quite austere on the nose. But nothing too hard or harsh. Lovely cool Pinot fruit. Medium full body. Not as fat or as abundant as that of Anne Gros. Excellent grip. Very lovely damson fruit. Very complex and classy. Fine plus. 18p/20. Clive Coates MW. June 2003
