Tasting notes
Cask sample. Mid, rich cherry red. Ripe, sweet and smells glossy, if that is possible. Ripe but perfectly fresh. Rich, ripe and dark-fruited on the palate. Lots of richness of fruit with a lightly chewy aftertaste. Full-flavoured rather than subtle, but perhaps that’s the role of a Bourgogne chez Grivot? Perhaps it has the density to age much longer but the fruit just doesn’t seem fresh enough. (JH)

The 2019 Bourgogne Rouge, which comes from the Vosne-Romanée appellation, has a well-defined bouquet of wild strawberry and raspberry aromas; there is something almost sedate about the nose. The pure, harmonious palate offers quite high-toned red and blue fruit. Sorbet-fresh toward the finish, with veins of blood orange. Very fine for its class.
