Vintage Character Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne‑Romanée Les Suchots Premier Cru 2001 is a refined and aromatic Burgundy that captures the elegance of this celebrated Vosne terroir in a vintage noted for balance and approachability. The 2001 growing season in Burgundy was shaped by a cool summer followed by a warm, dry September, which allowed grapes to ripen steadily while preserving freshness and aromatic clarity. This cuvée from Les Suchots, one of Vosne’s largest and most prestigious Premier Crus, reveals aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, layered with violet, spice, and subtle earthy notes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is medium‑bodied with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral‑driven finish that combines fruit purity with savory complexity. Its graceful style makes it a superb partner for roast duck with orange glaze, braised veal cheeks, or a wedge of Époisses cheese, offering both finesse and depth 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. Les Suchots 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 soils, making it a benchmark expression of this prestigious Premier Cru.
