Vintage Character From the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Jean Grivot’s Nuits-Saint-Georges “Aux Lavières” 2018 is a finely etched Burgundy Pinot Noir from a lieu-dit noted for its limestone-rich, stony soils. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing an excellent year of ripe, generous wines with supple tannins and ample fruit.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it opens with precise aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, cranberry and violets, layered with subtle oak spice, clove, light smoke and earthy notes. The palate is medium-bodied and focused, with medium-high acidity, finely knit tannins and a core of bright red fruit that carries through to a long, savoury, delicately toasty finish, gaining hints of sous-bois, dried rose and truffle as it evolves in bottle. This elegant but structured style makes a superb match for roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto or a simple roast chicken with thyme.
Winery Background Based in Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Jean Grivot is a respected family estate associated with meticulous work in the vineyard and a cellar approach that favours clarity of fruit and site expression. The domaine is widely known for its holdings across the Côte de Nuits and for bottling wines that emphasise fine tannins, freshness, and measured use of oak rather than overt extraction. In parcels such as Aux Lavières, Grivot’s attentive viticulture and careful élevage aim to translate the interplay of Pinot Noir and Nuits-Saint-Georges’ characterful soils into a wine that is terroir-driven, poised, and consistently precise across the range.
