Description

Domaine Jean Grivot is a 42-acre domaine in Clos de Vougeot, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. The Grivot family has been growing grapes and producing wine in the area since the 17th century. Today the estate is run by Etienne Grivot who worked in viticulture in California and other regions of France before taking over the estate. Domaine Jean Grivot has Grand Cru parcels in Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot and Echezeaux, and Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanee and Nuits-Saints-Georges. Clive Coates describes the estate as “one of the great domaines of Burgundy. Everything is done in the vineyard with respect for the quality and life of the soil.”

This bottle was outstanding - from the beautiful spiced nose of anise and dark fruit to the rich, but elegant and balanced flavors, it was exactly what you would expect from a grand cru Burgundy. Notes of blackberries and chocolate carried through on a long finish. The wine was fresh and vibrant. I bought this wine in 1991 and have had it in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar since then and wonder if that may account for how different this bottle was from the prior reviews. Two remaining bottles that I look forward to drinking over the next couple of years.
