Vintage Character Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée Village 2022 captures the refined, perfumed character that has made this famed village a reference point for Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, blending fruit from several parcels to give a harmonious picture of Vosne’s silky style. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is widely regarded as very successful, thanks to a warm, mostly dry growing season that delivered ripe, pure fruit with good concentration and balanced freshness rather than excessive richness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry and cranberry are interwoven with violet, rose petal, gentle oak spice, clove and a touch of fresh earth. On the palate it is medium-bodied yet focused, with fine, polished tannins, lively acidity and a long, graceful finish that can develop hints of sous-bois and delicate dried flowers with some bottle age. This is a refined, food-friendly Burgundy that shines alongside dishes such as roast duck breast with cherries, herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto or a simple roast chicken with thyme, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an elegant but characterful red Burgundy from a top village address.
Winery Background One of Vosne-Romanée’s leading family domaines, Domaine Jean Grivot traces its roots in Burgundy viticulture back to the early 19th century and has earned a reputation for crafting precise, terroir-driven Pinot Noir across a range of village, premier cru and grand cru sites. Today the estate is run by Etienne and Mathilde Grivot, who oversee vineyards in and around Vosne-Romanée that are farmed with an organic approach and great attention to detail in order to respect each parcel’s identity. Yields are kept moderate to enhance concentration, and in the cellar the Grivots favor predominantly destemmed fruit, gentle extraction and a judicious use of oak, aiming for purity, balance and finesse rather than sheer power. This philosophy, together with their meticulous parcel-by-parcel work, has cemented Domaine Jean Grivot’s status as a modern-classic reference for lovers of finely etched, expressive Vosne-Romanée wines.
