Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 2001 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). "This already displays fascinating aromatic complexity with classy, refined, utterly pure, harmonious flavours and fine, vibrant length. There is plenty of potential here as the tannic structure is prominent and despite the expressiveness of the nose, this is quite backwards and will require some patience." Allen Meadows, 2004

Vinous
(tasted from a magnum): Full dark red. Maturing but energetic aromas of black raspberry, graphite minerality and licorice, plus a hint of truffley underbrush. Fleshy on entry, then sweet, pure and stuffed with fruit, if still a bit introverted and dominated by its rather powerful structure. Finishes juicy and long, with substantial dusty tannins. This still-evolving wine should benefit from time in a decanter but I suspect it won't soften much further. Grivot, who saved 45 magnums of this wine and his 2001 Richebourg, told me that the Beaux Monts did not give a lot of pleasure during its first ten years. It was good but monolithic, introverted, almost fragile, he told me. But in the last two years it has been much easier to drink, and has shown more sucrosité.Stephen Tanzer1st April 2017
