The 2020 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne Romanee is a Pinot Noir hailing from the renowned Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region within the Vosne Romanee appellation. This wine, produced by the esteemed Domaine Jean Grivot, is a red wine sealed with a cork and contains 13.5% alcohol.

Decanter awarded this wine a score of 94, describing it as possessing "ripe plum and blackberry fruit, with well-integrated spice and a silky, plump texture." The review further notes that it is "nicely balanced by plenty of freshness," and emphasizes its elegance and finesse, which surpass the expectations for a typical village-level Vosne Romanee. Decanter also provides insight into the wine's origins, explaining that it is a blend of grapes from both above and below grand crus, including vineyards like Aux Champs Perdrix and Aux Réas. The wine is destemmed and carefully fermented before aging in 30% new casks, which contributes to its complex profile.

Wine Spectator rated the wine slightly lower at 93 but still offered high praise. The publication's review notes an "earthy aroma" that dissipates to reveal "pure black cherry, black currant and violet flavors." The wine is characterized as "silky yet dense and solidly structured," with a balanced profile that lingers with "fruit, spice and light vegetal accents." Wine Spectator suggests that the wine can be enjoyed now but will also age well through 2032, highlighting its potential for longevity. The review also mentions that only 185 cases were made, indicating its limited availability.

In summary, the 2020 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne Romanee is a highly regarded Pinot Noir with notable scores from Decanter and Wine Spectator. It features a blend of ripe fruit flavors, well-integrated spice, and a silky texture, with a balanced structure that promises both immediate enjoyment and aging potential. This wine stands out for its elegance and finesse, making it a noteworthy choice for Pinot Noir enthusiasts.
