Clos de Vougeot Jean Grivot 1999 is a Grand Cru Burgundy sourced from a prestigious single vineyard. This wine exhibits a complex interplay of red fruit, including raspberry and cherry, along with earthy undertones. As it ages, it reveals developed characteristics of forest floor and subtle spice. Jean Grivot owns a 1.86-hectare parcel within this historic Grand Cru, featuring some of the oldest vines, which contributes to the wine’s depth and character.

(Etienne Grivot told me that this was a high-VA vintage for him; my sampled had been carafed for two hours): Good full red. Empyreumatic and balsamic aromas of plum, chocolate and graphite reminded me of a mature Pomerol on first sniff. A bit monolithic on the attack, then fine-grained but still tight in the middle palate--even a bit unyielding--compared to recent vintages of this bottling. Conveys a sexy iodiney minerality and good sweetness, as well as noteworthy energy, but still a bit more evolved than I would have thought. The tannins are slightly peppery and dusty compared to today's wines but give the wine a solid structural underpinning. Said Etienne Grivot: 1999 was at the very beginning of my modern period, adding that he changed his technique a bit in 2000 in search of wines that were a little less rigorous.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2018
