*Vintage may vary by location*

Originating in the Jura region of France, the Grivot family settled in Vosne-Romanée right before the French Revolution. In 1919, Gaston Grivot sold his vines in less prominent areas to be able to buy a large plot in the grand cru Clos de Vougeot. He and his son, Jean, were some of the first students to graduate from Dijon University under the oenology program, and soon after they made their last name famous in the wine world. Today, all of the Grivot’s estate vineyards are older than 40 years of age and are planted to high density vine, which ensures competition thus producing lower yields. In addition to the family’s original Vosne-Romanée plot, the family now owns approximately 37 acres of land in Nuits-Saint-Georges, including plots in Echézeaux and Richebourg. Domaine Jean Grivot was one of the first domains in Burgundy to bottle and sell its own wines, and today are one of the select estates to set the bar for the quality of the entire region.

Les Beaux Monts is situated next to Aux Brûlées but makes a very different style of wine in the Grivots' hands. This is chalky, racy and energetic, with subtle reduction, fine-grained tannins and a finish that lingers on the tongue.

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts is also showing very well, offering up aromas of sweet Asian spices, rose petal, plums, cassis and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with good depth and dimension, vibrant fruit and a sapid, expansive finish.

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru has an extraordinarily transparent bouquet - you can really feel the terroir in this wine. There is an almost pastille-like purity here. The palate is sappy on the entry with very good depth and plenty of matière, offering dark berries, cola and a touch of white pepper on the finish.
