Wine Description

Domaine Jean Grivot is among the great names in Burgundian wine. Étienne Grivot and his wife Marielle took over from Étienne’s father Jean Grivot in 1987. The vineyards are densely planted and farmed organically “sans certification” while the aim in the cellar is for balance and clear expression of terroir.

Acclaim
“Tantalizing aromas and flavors of wild cherry, currant, sandalwood and earth stay focused by tangy acidity in this elegant red. Picks up a hint of mineral on the lingering aftertaste.”
— Wine Spectator, May 2018
“Full medium red. Ripe, highly aromatic nose combines redcurrant, cherry, tobacco, spices and dried flowers. Wonderfully seamless and sweet but with powerful underlying minerality giving the middle palate almost shocking energy. This fruit bomb has the saline depth and floral lift, not to mention the firm spine of tannins and acidity, to ensure a long life in bottle—especially for a village wine! A hint of orange zest on the end only amplified the impression of vibrancy.”
— Vinous, Jan 2018

Wine Production

Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Charmois is a lieu-dit sitting on the south side of the combe behind the town with a northeast exposition. Les Charmois ripens later and displays pretty fruit character with pronounced earthiness and is firmly structured.
