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...

Neal Martin, (Vintage 2018)The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Bossières has a light bouquet of mainly black fruit augmented by briary and earthy scents. It might need just a little more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, taut and fresh, with gentle grip. There is little in terms of depth toward the finish, but there is a pleasing symmetry and this should drink well over the next decade.

(Vintage 2018): A more subtly spiced nose offers up notes of plum liqueur, dark currant and violet hints. The rich, delicious and refined medium weight flavors possess a seductive mouthfeel that carries over to the slightly more robust, firmer and warm finale where the balance isn't quite as harmonious.

(Vintage 2016)Intense and dense. Black fruits. 'Village plus.' Sweet start and then very suave and friendly. Good energy. Just very very slightly rustic.

(Vintage 2018)Vin onctueux et velouté aux tanins suaves, assez riche mais son fruit a conservé un bel éclat.
