Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brulées 2009

Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées 2009 is a compelling expression of one of Vosne-Romanée’s most distinctive premier cru sites. Sourced from a high, south-facing slope just above the Grands Crus, it combines warmth, finesse, and depth in a way that makes this wine both immediately seductive and built for the cellar.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep, vibrant ruby tone that hints at its concentration and ripeness. The nose is layered and expressive, with ripe cherry, raspberry, and blackberry joined by violet, rose petal, earthy spice, forest floor, and a subtle smoky edge. On the palate, it is broad and energetic, with a dense core of fruit, polished tannins, and a lively backbone of acidity that keeps everything in balance. The finish is long and precise, with a compelling mix of warmth, minerality, and spice. This is a wine with excellent aging potential and should continue to evolve beautifully over many years, gaining more savory, floral, and tertiary complexity.

Production
Aux Brûlées sits high on the Vosne-Romanée slope, where the combination of altitude, exposure, and terroir brings both ripeness and tension. Domaine Jean Grivot harvests late to ensure full phenolic maturity, helping the wine show depth rather than a lean, overly mineral profile. The grapes are hand-sorted, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged for around 18 months in French oak, with the proportion of new barrels adjusted according to the vintage.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for refined dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, veal tenderloin, lamb, or game birds, as well as earthy mushroom-based preparations and truffled dishes. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 1-2 hours when young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.
