2009 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanee Les Brulees Premier Cru

Producer Notes

Domaine Jean Grivot is one of the oldest producers in Burgundy in France, led by fifth generation winemaker, Etienne. Based in Vosne-Romanée, the total wine production is very small, however, an excellent range of wines is created at all different quality levels, from Village right up to Grand Cru. For some of the more illustrious vineyards such as Richebourg and Échezeaux, the family decided to hire a horse (his name is Pirate!) so that the land could be managed in a gentle, more natural way. The wines show much character and complexity and are developing all the time with new energy and input from Etienne’s daughter, Mathilde. Jean Grivot is regarded as one of the best and most reliable producers in Vosne-Romanée which is certainly evident in the wines that are crafted year after year.
