There is something Chambolle-like about this, demûre and poised, this offers ravishingly, sensual, red berry and flower charactersitics that combine seamlessly with more edge notes of crushed rock, flint and mineral. Flowing, graceful yet dynamic. Utterly spellbinding. A high, stony vineyard in Vosne situated just above La Romanée giving typically elegant, racy, mineral wines.
Etienne Grivot succeeded his father, Jean, in 1987, and today presides over 15 hectares of vines spread accross Nuits, Vosne, Vougeot and Echézeaux. This is one of the modern-day, benchmark Burgundian domaines. The estate’s densely-planted old vines (the average age is 40 years old) produce naturally-low yields and, together with Etienne’s organic approach to viticulture and sensitive winemaking, result in vivid, pure, very well-balanced Burgundies. The wines are much more softly extracted than when Etienne first started, the winemaking is incredibly flexible, depending on the vintage, but usually only 5% of stalks are retained, and rarely more than a third of the barrels are new. Daughter Mathilde and son Hubert have committed to working at the Domaine and have taken on more responsibility from Etienne since 2017, so the estate's future seems secure. A reference point Burgundy Domaine.
