The 2022 Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne Romanee Pinot Noir is a red wine from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically from the Cote de Nuits sub-region. Crafted by Domaine Jean Grivot, this wine is a product of the Vosne Romanee appellation, known for producing some of the most distinguished Pinot Noir wines in the world.
Decanter awarded this wine a score of 94, describing it as having an "attractive medium-deep ruby colour" that sets the stage for a "pleasantly ripe plummy fruit" profile, accented with nuances of smoke and earth. This suggests a complex flavor profile typical of high-quality Burgundy wines. The wine's texture is noted as "supple," yet it maintains "sufficient tension and grip" to ensure a "lingering finish," which indicates a well-balanced structure that is likely to improve with age.
The wine is currently ageing in cask, with 20% being new oak, and is scheduled to be bottled in March, following the lunar phase, a traditional practice in winemaking that some believe can influence the wine's quality. Decanter highlights that this Pinot Noir is a "true 'cuvée ronde'," meaning it is a blend of 10 different climats, or vineyard sites, around the village. These sites range from the higher elevations like Aux Champs Perdrix to the lower slopes such as Pré de la Folie, adding layers of complexity to the wine.
With a recommended drinking window from 2028 to 2055, this wine promises to be a rewarding choice for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a high-quality Burgundy that will evolve gracefully over the coming decades.
