Étienne Grivot and his wife Marielle took over from Étienne’s father Jean Grivot in 1987. The vineyards are densely planted and farmed organically “sans certification” while the aim in the cellar is for balance and clear expression of terroir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJean Grivot’s 38.3 acres spread across 22 appellations with vineyards in the communes of Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, Chambolle-Musigny, and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Besides the three grand crus, there are 8 premier crus including the much lauded Les Beaux Monts and Suchots in Vosne-Romanée. The grapes are completely de-stemmed and fermentation is spontaneous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClos de Vougeot grand cru was acquired by Étienne’s grandfather, Gaston Grivot, in 1919. The total holding is 4.6 acres from the middle of the vineyard to the lower wall and the average vine age is 40 years old. A good Clos de Vougeot should be a complete wine without any one feature standing out. It is a perfect balance of power, aroma, and flavor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes are destemmed and maceration à froid usually lasts just a day or two. The alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous and malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel. Depending on the vintage, the proportion of new oak is around 40-70% percent for the grands crus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe wine shows aromas and flavors of red berries, herbs, and purple flowers. The palate is rich with ripe fruit and medium weight with bright acidity and fine tannins. Aging in 40-70% new Burgundian pièce brings notes of vanilla, toast, and baking spices.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed Burgundy might be the world’s most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food-friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVINEYARD \u0026amp; PRODUCTION INFO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eVineyard name: Clos de Vougeot\u003cbr\u003eVineyard size: 125\u003cbr\u003eBottles produced of this wine: 9,404\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKING \u0026amp; AGING\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eVarietal composition: 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eFining agent: None\u003cbr\u003eType of aging container: Barrels\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eSize of aging container: 228 liters\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eAge of aging container: 40% new\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eType of oak: French\u003cbr\u003eLength of aging before bottling: 15 months in barrel and the 2 months in tank\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eTotal SO2: 53 mg\/L\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANALYTICAL DATA\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eAlcohol: 14%\u003cbr\u003epH level: 3.65\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eResidual sugar: 0.7 g\/L\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eAcidity: 2.99 g\/L\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003eEstate owned by: Étienne and Marielle Grivot\u003cbr\u003eWinemaker: Mathilde Grivot\u003cbr\u003eTotal acreage under vine: 38\u003cbr\u003eEstate founded: 1930\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine Jean Grivot","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":41319159070912,"sku":"DJG-C18-750","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4310\/4704\/products\/2018-domaine-jean-grivot-angry-wine-merchant-1.png?v=1652561972","url":"https:\/\/angrywinemerchant.com\/products\/domaine-jean-grivot-clos-de-vougeot-2018","provider":"Angry Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
