Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots 2005

Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots 2005 is a striking expression of one of Vosne-Romanée’s most coveted Premier Cru sites. Perched just above the iconic Grand Cru La Romanée, Aux Reignots brings remarkable energy, tension, and mineral drive to the sensuality of Pinot Noir, making this a wine of both pedigree and precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2005 shows the depth and refinement expected from a mature Burgundy of great class. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, blackberry, violet, rose petal, crushed stone, and subtle smoke unfold with beautiful complexity. On the palate, it is poised and vertical, with firm yet polished tannins, vivid acidity, and a long, mineral finish that balances elegance with concentration. With age, the wine develops greater earthy nuance, with notes of forest floor, spice, and a finely chalky, almost saline finesse. It has excellent ageing potential, and in a strong vintage like 2005 it should continue to evolve gracefully for many years.

Production
Aux Reignots is a steep, high-altitude parcel in northern Vosne-Romanée, planted on thin, stony soils that naturally yield small, concentrated berries and very low volumes. The exposure and poor soil contribute to the wine’s signature tension, mineral character, and focused structure. At Domaine Jean Grivot, the grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is then matured in French oak barrels, a regimen designed to add depth and texture while preserving the vineyard’s clarity, freshness, and terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for dishes that complement Pinot Noir’s finesse and subtle complexity, such as roast duck, pigeon, veal, lamb rack, wild mushroom risotto, or truffled poultry. Serve at around 16–18°C and decant gently for 30–60 minutes if the bottle is showing youthful restraint or if you want to open up the aromatics.

Producer
