About this winery
Domaine Jean Grivot is one of Burgundy's greatest small family estates, and their story is a classic Burgundy family story. They were one of the first families in Vosne Romanee to bottle and sell their own wine, beginning in the 1930's. The estate has been run by fifth-generation vigneron Etienne Grivot since 1987 with his wife Marielle. The domaine is an impressive 15ha in total, but in classic 'small is beautiful' Burgundian fashion it takes little bits of 22 different appellations to cobble...

Production notes
This Premier Cru is among Vosne’s most famous wines. The Beaux-Monts terroir produces a rich, full wine with exquisite scents of red fruits and exotic spices.

(Vintage 2016)Pure, supple and complex, boasting violet, cherry, raspberry, sandalwood, mineral and toasty oak aromas and flavors. The firm, racy structure adds focus and drives the lingering finish. Shows terrific balance and freshness. Best from 2022 through 2043.

(Vintage 2019)Very dark with a purple rim. Ripe, intense black fruits. That nutty aroma again with the merest hint of curry leaf, peppery and spiced. On the palate, firm, chewy, more savoury but with the richness of black fruit and a hint of violets. Dark and savoury on the finish. Compact and seems to be an odd contradiction: firm tannins need time but the fruit is so ripe. Complex and hard to gauge its ageability.
