Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
The Grivots have a substantial 1.86-hectare single parcel in Clos de Vougeot, which is easy to spot, with its magnificent gate on the roadside. The wine is finely woven, detailed and poised, with both power and length. Violets, incense, red cherry fruit mingle on the palate with a charm that is irresistible right now but a structure that promises to repay cellaring.
The 2023 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a very succinct bouquet. It's one of the cuvées from Grivot with what feels like darker fruit than others. This is beautifully defined, with hints of sea cave/oyster shell and a dash of black pepper that manifests with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied and velvety smooth, with pliant tannins, moderate depth and orange rind, blood oranges and a hint of cardamom toward the finish. This is quite a complex Clos de Vougeot that should age with style.
Mid crimson. A certain weight to the fruit but nothing flamboyant on the nose. This is tight on the palate too, predominantly strawberry fruit with some liquorice behind and more evident tannins, though nothing harsh. Drink from 2034-2044. Tasted Nov 2024.
