Vintage Character Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne‑Romanée Aux Reignots Premier Cru 2009 is a rich and powerful Burgundy that showcases the intensity of this celebrated Vosne terroir in an outstanding vintage. The 2009 growing season in Burgundy was widely regarded as excellent, shaped by a warm, dry summer and ideal harvest conditions that produced ripe, concentrated fruit with supple tannins and aromatic depth. This cuvée from Aux Reignots, a Premier Cru vineyard situated just above La Romanée and La Romanée‑Conti, reveals aromas of black cherry, cassis, and ripe raspberry, layered with violet, exotic spice, and subtle earthy notes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is full‑bodied and textured, with generous fruit, fine tannins, and a long, mineral‑driven finish that balances richness with elegance. Its depth and structure make it a superb partner for roast venison with juniper, braised beef short ribs, or Peking duck, offering both power and refinement at the table.
Winery Background Domaine Jean Grivot is one of Vosne‑Romanée’s most respected family domaines, with roots tracing back to the French Revolution. The estate farms about 15 hectares across Vosne‑Romanée, Vougeot, Chambolle‑Musigny, and Nuits‑Saint‑Georges, including holdings in three Grand Crus—Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux, and Richebourg—and eight Premier Crus. Since 1987, Etienne Grivot has overseen the domaine, introducing meticulous vineyard management and a winemaking philosophy that emphasizes purity, precision, and terroir expression. Today, the estate is transitioning to the next generation, with Etienne’s children Mathilde and Hubert taking on greater roles, ensuring continuity while adding fresh energy. Aux Reignots is considered one of the jewels of the domaine’s portfolio, reflecting both the perfume and elegance of Vosne‑Romanée and the structure imparted by its limestone‑rich slope, making it a benchmark expression of this prestigious Premier Cru.
