2023 Coteaux Bourguignons, Jean Grivot

2023 Coteaux Bourguignons, Jean Grivot

Unlike some Côteaux Bourguignons which are a blend of Gamay and Pinot Noir, this is 100% Gamay, from a parcel of very old vines that the Grivots inherited via the Jayers, one of whom was married to Etienne’s father. Etienne says that Henri Jayer made him promise to never, ever rip out these vines. He has kept his word, and it is now one of the wines that Etienne is most animated about in their whole cellar. Charming, earthy and brimming with bright dark cherry fruit, this is so easy to love.

Tasting notes

Pretty pink to ruby, with charming fruit, one could almost think pinot though it is 100% gamay. High acidity and very peppery around brisk red fruit. Fun wine. Drink from 2025-2027. Tasted Nov 2024.
