Tasting Notes

Goedhuis, January 2007
Les Brûlées is located high up the slope due north of Richebourg. Slightly closed on the nose, it opens up with gentle smoky flavours that soften to cherry crumble and roasted spice. Wonderfully silky and balanced, its finish goes on and on.

Burghound, January 2007,
Score: 90-93Wonderfully pure extract of black pinot and cherry fruit aromas complement the mineral-infused and muscular, indeed even robust full-bodied flavors brimming with mid-palate sap that completely buffers the firm, dusty and again, mineral-infused finish. This is beautifully textured with the balance to age for years. Drink: 2013+.Comments: outstanding!

Jancis Robinson, January 2007,
Score: 17Very deep crimson. Extremely intense fruit. Very sweet at first and then it firms up on the palate. So rigid it is almost sour! But because of all that ripe fruit it will surely get there in the end, I'm sure - it's just that the end is very far away.... Already long.

Producer
Domaine Etienne Grivot (formerly Jean Grivot)

One of the most famous names in Vosne Romanée, Domaine Grivot dates back to the nineteenth century. Over the years and marriages, the domaine grew to include vineyards in notable appellations such as Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Richebourg. Etienne, the fifth generation of the family to run the estate, returned to Burgundy from work experience in California in the 1980s. He eventually took over from his father completely in 1990. Over time and through experience, Etienne has created his own style of wine, which many tasters consider to be growing in elegance. The wines remain powerful and rich, true vins de garde, which usually need several years of cellaring to soften and develop. Those patient enough to wait know that the wines of Etienne Grivot are exceptional. In 2012 his children Mathilde and Hubert joined him at the family domaine, and the three share a united vision. It is a harmonious and collaborative family team. They eschew the trend for analysing every drop of juice, and pay much more attention to the vegetative cycle of their vines. The year’s weather conditions will dictate how the team handles the grapes in the cellar far more than the complex chemical analyses which comes back from the lab.
Region
Vosne Romanée
The vineyards of the modest village of Vosne Romanée are arguably the most sought after in the Côte d'Or. It is host to excellent Village and Premier Cru wines, but it is its most famous Grand Crusthat truly stand out: Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Grands Echézeaux, Echézeaux, Romanée St. Vivant and La Romanée as well as Cros Parentoux, a Premier Cru vineyard which attracts Grand Cru attention (and prices). Vosne-Romanée can be remarkably robust and powerful, yet be charming and fleshy giving it one of the most diverse styles of the region.
