DOMAINE JEAN GRIVOT

Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Lavières 2011

Here there is some reduction present but notes of spice and earth are still visible. There is a really lovely mouth feel to the medium-bodied flavors that are admirably pure and well-balanced. Moreover the firm underlying tannins are unusually silky, all wrapped in a lightly mineral-inflected finish. Good stuff.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
