Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2009 Domaine Jean Grivot
Vendor code : 191
Domaine Jean Grivot has established itself as one of the best producers of Vosne-Romanee. The Domaine only makes wines from its vineyards, 18 different appellations, spanning generic Bourgogne to Grands Crus Clos de Vougeot, Richebourg, and Echezeaux. The average age of the vines is between 45 and 50 years, aging takes place in oak barrels, the wood of which comes from the Tronsai Forest, one of the most beautiful oak forests in Europe. Style: deep, aromatic Pinot Noir wines with bright red fruit characteristics.

Clos de Vougeot was founded around 1110 AD by monks who remained its owners until the French Revolution. Clos de Vougeot is a Burgundian icon. The domain owns a plot of 1.87 hectares. This is of the most exciting Pinot Noir. The wine exhibits attractive aromas of licorice, red cherries, mint, and graphite. The wine is full-bodied, with great energy and a fruity core.
Mathilde and Hubert are at the helm of the company under the leadership of their father Etienne Grivot, and it seems to be one of the most successful transitions from one generation to the next in all of Burgundy. This generation has a domaine that has truly broken into the upper echelon of Vosne-Romanee, with wines that consistently delight both at various dinners and blind tastings. That Grivot produces some of the best wines in the region is undeniable. It is worth noting that in 2008, Domaine Jean Grivot began to evolve towards softer extraction and greater transparency. Thanks to the dense planting of old vines (the average age of the vines is 45-50 years) with organic farming, grape yields are low, producing a complex red Burgundy worthy of a place in any cellar. Domaine Jean Grivot adheres to biodynamic practices, working in harmony with the environment. The wines are bottled unfiltered according to the lunar movements. Their grand cru vineyards include Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, and Échezeaux.

Refined, dense pinot noir with floral, violet, dark cherry and berry, spice and cedar wood flavours that are restrained by plum, ripe tannins. A very classy Felton Road pinot noir that clearly shows plenty of cellaring potential. It has a seductively lengthy finish.
