Domaine Grivot Côteaux Bourguignons 2015
Côteaux Bourguignons AOC
The red wines of 2015 were described by Decanter as “truly great: rich, powerful and statuesque” and none more so than those from the remarkable Domaine Grivot. This Burgundy may be pure Gamay, but it’s a superb, ageworthy and complex masterpiece.

There is huge praise for this estate based in Vosne Romanée. The family were originally from the Jura, but came to Burgundy about 120 years ago. Gradually, over time, the Grivots have been buying up plots of the finest terroir and making wines of even greater finesse. Current owner Etienne Grivot studied in Beaune before gaining experience in California and other French regions. His children are now ready to take over. Wine Advocate’s Neal Martin described his visit thus: “One of the most consistent and pleasurable tastings, wines that brim over with complexity, terroir expression and deliciousness.” This fabulous Coteaux Bourguignons is pure Gamay – nothing like generic Beaujolais, but a red with wonderful depth, intensity and ageability.
