2022 Jean Grivot Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Sourced from Jean Grivotâs parcel near the top of Clos de Vougeot, where the soils are thinner and more limestone-rich, this 2022 Grand Cru reflects both pedigree and precision. The vintage offered optimal ripeness and purity, allowing the domaineâs organic farming and minimalist cellar approach to shine. Fermented with partial whole clusters and aged in French oak (30â40% new), the wine reveals a layered interplay of dark fruit, earth, and spice, framed by a firm but polished structure. Compared to more robust expressions from lower in the clos, Grivotâs bottling is defined by its verticality, freshness, and aging potential. Itâs a commanding match for duck breast, venison, or truffle risotto.

The domaine began its rise to prominence under Jean Grivot in the mid-20th century and solidified its reputation through decades of precise, terroir-driven winemaking. Farming is organic, and intervention is minimal both in the vineyard and the cellar.
