Critic Review and Score

94-96 points. "The 2021 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with vivacious red berry fruit, kirsch and orange zest, very well-defined and focused. Love the energy of this Echézeaux. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit struck through with shucked oyster shell that defined the finish. Wonderful length. Bon vin." – Neal Martin, Vinous.

Tasting Notes

• Color: Brilliant mid-crimson hue.
• Nose: Aromas of spiced plum, exotic tea, violet, and a hint of wood toast.
• Palate: Medium-bodied with fine richness, volume, and mid-palate density; flavors of sappy red fruit intertwined with a subtle minerality.
• Finish: Balanced and built-to-age finale with impressive persistence.

The Story Behind the Wine

Domaine Jean Grivot, located in Vosne-Romanée, is a family-owned estate with roots tracing back to the French Revolution. The Grivot family has been producing wine for five generations, with Etienne Grivot taking over from his father, Jean, in the early 1980s. Today, Etienne's daughter, Mathilde, continues the family's winemaking legacy, bringing a fresh perspective while maintaining traditional practices. 

The Echézeaux Grand Cru vineyard, situated in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy, is renowned for producing wines of exceptional quality. Domaine Jean Grivot's parcel, known as Les Cruots or Vignes Blanches, contributes to the wine's distinctive character.
