The 1990 Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée Les Rouges 1er Cru hails from a highly respected Burgundian estate known for its terroir expression and exceptional aging potential. This vintage is part of a period where Étienne Grivot, who took over in 1987, began to make more generous and serene wines, with a focus on meticulous vineyard work and organic methods. The Grivot family has a long history in Burgundy, settling in Vosne-Romanée around 1780. The wines are typically aged for 15-18 months in oak barrels, with a significant portion of new oak for Grand Crus, and are bottled without fining or filtration. 【 Exceptional aging potential and terroir expression 】.
