Vintage Character Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne‑Romanée Aux Reignots Premier Cru 2010 is a profound and elegant Burgundy that unites the perfume of Vosne with the structure of its limestone‑rich slope in a vintage of exceptional balance. The 2010 growing season in Burgundy is widely acclaimed, marked by a cool summer followed by a sunny, dry September that allowed for steady ripening and produced wines of purity, freshness, and precise structure. This cuvée from Aux Reignots, a Premier Cru vineyard located just above La Romanée and La Romanée‑Conti, reveals aromas of red cherry, blackcurrant, and raspberry, layered with violet, spice, and subtle earthy notes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is medium‑bodied yet concentrated, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral‑driven finish that combines richness with finesse. Its depth and aromatic clarity make it an excellent partner for roast pigeon with herbs, braised beef short ribs, or Peking duck.
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 elevated, limestone‑rich terroir, making it a benchmark expression of this prestigious Premier Cru.
