Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1996 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). "Subtle yet very spicy black Vosne fruit with sappy, pure, still tight flavours that display brilliant balance and impressive intensity on the long, very persistent and punchy finish. This is very impressive and the perfectly integrated acidity will permit this to live for years." Burghound, 2003
91 Vinous
Dark red-ruby color. Flamboyant, pure aromas of cassis, blackberry, licorice, spice, coffee and minerals. Large scaled but suave, silky and subtle. Has the juicy vibrancy and terrific cut of the vintage. The firm, convincing finish builds slowly and lingers. There was no heat to kill the aromas in '96, notes Grivot.Stephen Tanzer1st March 1999
