Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots 2011

Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Reignots 2011 is a refined and highly sought-after Premier Cru Pinot Noir from one of the most coveted sites in northern Vosne-Romanée. Positioned just above the legendary Grand Cru La Romanée, the vineyard’s steep, stony slope gives the wine a distinctive mineral edge, precision, and striking energy. It is a wine that speaks clearly of place, combining elegance, intensity, and impressive depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine typically shows a vivid, translucent ruby core with the graceful brightness expected from top Burgundy Pinot Noir. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with red cherry, raspberry, and blackberry lifted by violet, rose petal, crushed stone, and a subtle smoky nuance. On the palate, Aux Reignots is precise and focused, with a sleek, vertical structure and fine, firm tannins. The wine balances Vosne-Romanée sensuality with pronounced mineral tension and lively acidity, making it both immediately captivating and built for aging. Over time, it is likely to develop more complex notes of forest floor, spice, and a deep, chalky finesse.

Production
The Aux Reignots parcel sits on a steep, rocky hillside above La Romanée, where the lean soils and elevated exposure naturally limit yields and produce small, concentrated grapes. Harvesting is done by hand with careful sorting, and Domaine Jean Grivot’s approach emphasizes purity and terroir expression through fermentation with native yeasts and maturation in French oak barrels, adding depth without masking the vineyard’s mineral character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its finesse and depth, such as roast duck, quail, poussin, wild mushroom risotto, or gently seared lamb. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for about 30–60 minutes if the wine is still young, to allow its aromas and structure to open fully.
