Vosne Romanee 2006 Jean Grivot

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (88)

Grivot's 2006 Vosne Romanee has brighter red fruit (raspberry, red currant) presence and more cut and persistence of finish than his Nuits Les Charmois, albeit at the price of a hint of tannic roughness, which I suspect will integrate if one gives this a couple of years in bottle. Subtle smokiness and meat broth notes supply a measure of intrigue, and this should prove an engaging representative for its village over the next 4-6 years. Incidentally, Grivot sold off the juice of his younger village-level vines this year, just as he had done in 2004.

Shy on the nose, yet with cherry, mineral and earth flavors that resonate and get a lift from the dense tannins. A bit tough for Vosne, with an astringent finish.
