Domaine Jean Grivot is a stand-out name in Burgundy, and has seen many generations of the Grivot family at its helm. In the words of Robert Parker`s Wine Advocate, "The Clos de Vougeot is gorgeous in 2009. This is an especially dark, brooding Clos Vougeot. Dark red cherries, plums, tar and liquorice are some of the many notes that take shape in this explosive, beguiling Burgundy. The sheer energy and drive make the Clos Vougeot a standout. Graphite, mint and liquorice linger on the pointed, focused finish." Drink now to 2039.

Bright medium red. Vibrant aromas of black cherry, licorice and minerals. Seamless, sappy and explosive on the palate, conveying an impression of silkiness without weight. Really explosive mouthfilling perfume here, even if there's plenty in reserve for a long and positive evolution in bottle. The wonderfully fresh, mounting finish features substantial dusty tannins and resounding black cherry and dark chocolate flavors. The 2009s are to drink anytime, noted Grivot. Even this Clos Vougeot would be great with grilled beef now. A great vintage for this bottling, which is partly from vines located in the so-so northeast corner of this vineyard.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2012
