2017 Domaine Jean Grivot
"...That Grivot produces some of the finest wines in the appellation is incontrovertible."
Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate

|
The 2017s reaffirm Grivot as one of the leading domaines in the appellation where nearly everything from the Richebourg down to the Côteaux Bourguignon has quality stamped all over it. Though synonymous with Vosne-Romanée, there are almost as many cuvées in neighbouring Nuits Saint-Georges, where both Aux Boudots and Les Pruliers shine.

2017 Bourgogne Blanc
Usually $109 - Special Offer $95
"Vague viognier-like hints can be found on the petrol, melon and soft lemon rind nuances. The rush, round and succulent flavors possess reasonably good richness that is buffered by the citrus-tinged acidity on the nicely dry and delicious finish. To enjoy immediately."

2017 Bourgogne Rouge
Usually $109 - Special Offer $95
"The 2017 Bourgogne Rouge, which comes from old vines in Vosne-Romanée, has a lifted cranberry and raspberry bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and slightly gourmand in style, leading to a light but quite persistent dark cherry finish. Enjoy over the next two or three years."

2017 Vosne-Romanee
Usually $205 - Special Offer $185
"An overtly spicy and appealingly fresh, cool and pure nose reflects notes of black pinot fruit, violet, Asian tea and a wisp of anise. There is both good volume and mid-palate fleshiness to the delicious and seductively textured flavors that culminate in an agreeably punchy, focused and mildly austere finale. Like the Lavières, this is sufficiently tightly wound to need at least some patience and has the stuffing to reward up to a decade of cellaring."

2017 Vosne-Romanee 'Bossieres'
Usually $239 - Special Offer $209
"This is aromatically similar to the straight Vosne with perhaps just a bit more floral influence. The rich and enveloping flavors possess a velvety mouthfeel while offering slightly better depth and persistence on the balanced finale. This is lovely and very, very Vosne in basic character. One to consider. Outstanding."

2017 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru
'Aux Brulees'
Usually $575 - Special Offer $529
"The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru has a very precise, focused bouquet of black cherries, crushed stone, hints of pressed iris and Provençal herbs. This seems to unfurl as I swirl it in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is quite fleshy and rounded in the mouth, offering very supple tannin and plenty of brambly red fruit. The mineralité is only apparent toward the final quarter. Not the most persistent of Grivot’s crus, but very seductive."

2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Charmois'
Usually $205 - Special Offer $185
"The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Charmois has a very elegant bouquet of raspberry preserve, briar and light rose petal aromas. Not powerful, but well defined. The palate is fresh on the entry, offering crunchy red berry fruit laced with orange peel and a touch of tangy marmalade, leading to a slightly peppery but quite persistent finish. Lovely, but outshone by the Les Pruliers at the moment."

2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
'Les Pruliers'
Usually $429- Special Offer $395
"More discreet wood influence easily allows the aromas of plum, dark currant, earth and evident sauvage character to be appreciated. The richer, more powerful and more complex if less mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors are blessed with plenty of dry extract that helps to buffer the very firm, robust, compact and youthfully austere finale. I really like the sense of energy and while this is a big wine, it's not a block of tannin. Outstanding."

2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
'Aux Boudots'
Usually $489- Special Offer $449
"Mild reduction pushes the fruit to the background but I doubt that it will last. Otherwise there is excellent volume, weight and intensity to the muscular and powerful big-bodied but seductively textured flavors that culminate in a youthfully austere and gorgeously long if quite firmly structured finale. This is a very dense wine in the context of the vintage and one that is going to require at least some forbearance. Sweet Spot, Outstanding."

2017 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
Usually $709- Special Offer $655
"Here the less expressive nose flirts with reduction though a wisp of red berry fruit is discernible so I would suggest decanting this if you're game to try a bottle young. Otherwise the succulent and nicely rich flavors are blessed with abundant amounts of dry extract that coats the palate and buffers the moderately firm tannic spine on the youthfully austere and sneaky long finish."

2017 Echezeaux Grand Cru
Usually $949- Special Offer $879
"The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a very precise bouquet, a little introverted at first, that features a mixture of red and black fruit and seems to grow in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with touches of tobacco and graphite lacing the dark plum and blackberry fruit. Very harmonious and long in the mouth, displaying a touch of brine toward the long finish. Excellent."

2017 Richebourg Grand Cru
Usually $3,129- Special Offer $2,889
"The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru has a showstopping, persistent bouquet of intense blackberry, sous-bois and crushed stone. The supremely well-balanced palate offers filigreed tannin, wonderful mineralité and an otherworldly-long finish. One of the most elegant Richebourgs that I have tasted. Best Richebourg in show this year? Quite possibly. Six barrels produced."
