Etienne Grivot succeeded his father, Jean, in 1987, and today presides over 15 hectares of vines spread accross Nuits, Vosne, Vougeot and Ech?zeaux. This is one of the modern-day, benchmark Burgundian domaines. The estate?s densely-planted old vines (the average age is 40 years old) produce naturally-low yields and, together with Etienne?s organic approach to viticulture and sensible winemaking, result in vivid, pure, very well-balanced Burgundies. The wines are much more softly extracted than when Etienne first started, the winemaking is incredibly flexible, depending on the vintage, but usually only 5% of stalks are retained, and rarely more than a third of the barrels are new. A reference point for good Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Grivot's 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Ronci?res has a clean, quite pure bouquet with cranberry, bergamot and wild hedgerow aromas, developing rose petal/pressed flower scents with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity, fleshy and rounded with a caressing, poised finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. It will benefit from another couple of years in bottle. The kind of wine that you will need to have a second bottle in reserve. Tasted September 2017.
