Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts Jean Grivot 2002

Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 2002 is a mature 1er Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The climat of Les Beaux Monts lies above Echézeaux Grand Cru, with a small section crossing the boundary into Echézeaux itself. Several of its parcels straddle the border between Vosne-Romanée and Flagey-Echézeaux to the west. Jean Grivot is one of the great names of Vosne-Romanée winemaking. Winemaking is now increasingly overseen by Mathilde, daughter of Étienne and Marielle. Meticulous work in the vineyard is aimed at producing fruit of impeccable quality. In the cellar, the fruit is completely destemmed following a pre-ferment cold maceration for around one week. The wines are matured in oak barrels for 15-20 months (up to 40% new for the domaine`s best wines). "Very deep crimson. Sweet and extremely fruity on the nose. Glamorous spread of fruit and great structure. Really successful. Lovely balance of elements..." Jancis Robinson MW, 2004
