Goedhuis, December 2011
A wonderfully wild ‘sauvage' style of wine, with strong brambly fruit flavours. This is a wine withdepth and power; the finely structured tannins are supported by the natural weight of fruit making this an excellent long term keeping wine of high class.

Burghound, January 2012, Score: 89-92
A relatively high-toned and quite pure nose speaks of floral and earth hints together with the ripe red berry fruit aromas with particular emphasis on raspberry. The attractively rich, round and focused flavors are quite supple and seductively textured, indeed this is almost lacy. There is fine complexity and the finish evidences only a minimal amount of the usual robustness one associates with this terroir though I don't wish to suggest that there isn't plenty of underlyingstructure as this should need a full decade of cellar time. Lovely and really very pure. 2020+
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
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
