Wine Advocate: 93 Points
One of the finest Clos Vougeot's produced in 1995 Grivot's exhibits a bright medium-to-dark ruby color. Its sublime aromatics include Asian spices cinnamon violets and ripe red fruits. This full-bodied wine offers a thick texture and an amazingly refined yet powerful burst of sweet cherries spices and minerals. Not surprisingly this wine boasts a spectacularly long well-defined finish. It will be in its prime between 2004-2012. The Domaine Jean Grivot is brilliantly run by Jean's son Etienne Grivot. As I mentioned in the introduction to my Cote de Nuits report (Issue #110) he is one of the young vignerons responsible for the higher quality of Burgundy's wines. His 1995s were among the best wines I tasted in the Cote d'Or bringing together superb balance with thick concentrated elegant fruit.
