Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Les Chaumes 2021

Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour.

Domaine Jean Grivot has a long history dating back to the end of the 18th century, when Joseph Grivot decided to move from the Jura region to Burgundy. Established in Vosne-Romanée, the estate has been passed down through generations, leading up to the arrival of Etienne Grivot in 1987. Today, the Domaine covers approximately 15.5 hectares of vineyards spread across some of the area’s finest appellations, including several Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites.

The Pinot Noir grapes are sourced from a plot located in the Premier Cru Les Chaumes, situated at the southern end of Vosne-Romanée, an area renowned for its moderate continental climate and limestone soils. Following the harvest and a brief cold maceration, fermentation occurs spontaneously.

In the glass, the wine reveals great aromatic purity and an expressive character. Its aromatic profile opens with notes of ripe cherry and wild berries, followed by peppery and earthy hints. On the palate, it is balanced and complex, juicy and smooth, with fine tannins and a lively vein of acidity. It possesses good structure and a long, layered finish. This is a wine of great elegance, capable of aging well for a couple of decades, yet it can also be enjoyed now paired with pork tenderloin and mushrooms, roast turkey with cranberry sauce, or grilled duck breast.
