Based in Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Jean Grivot is famous for producing deep and aromatic red Burgundy. The family-owned estate is currently run by Jean Grivot`s son Etienne and his wife Marienne, with the assistance of their daughter Mathilde and son Hubert. Their portfolio includes three Grand Crus. Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot and Echézeaux, where this particular release comes from. The 1999 vintage was marked by good harvest conditions and a generous crop, leading to some excellent wines.

The 1999 Echezeaux Jean Grivot is a prime example of fine Burgundy Pinot Noir, crafted from grapes harvested from the Grand Cru vineyard of Echezeaux. This vintage is celebrated for its balance, depth, and the nuanced expression of terroir it delivers. Exhibiting layers of red and dark fruit, nuanced earthy undertones, and a delicate integration of oak, this wine is a testament to the exceptional vintage and the meticulous care in viticulture and winemaking at Domaine Jean Grivot. The nose opens with an array of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and a hint of violets, complemented by earthy nuances and a gentle touch of oak. On the palate, it delivers complex layers of fruit, fine tannins, and a lingering finish that echoes mineral and spice. A harmonious balance between acidity and depth contributes to its elegant structure.
