Jean Grivot, Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru, 1990
The 1990 vintage for Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux Monts 1er Cru is highly regarded, with the Grivot family being a prominent name in Burgundian wine for two centuries. The Les Beaux Monts vineyard is one of the largest Vosne-Romanée Premier Crus, known for its distinct personality from its southerly exposure and marl and clay soils. The wines are aged for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels, with about a third being new, and are bottled without fining or filtration. Tasting notes for the 1990 vintage describe a nose of crushed cherry and strawberry, with dried flowers, smoke, hints of olive and minerals. On the palate, it offers fleshy textures, pure and refined red fruits with hints of spice and inner floral tones, finishing incredibly long with notes of smoke and olive-tinged minerality. This wine is full-bodied and smooth, exhaling notes of red fruit and exotic spices.
【Excellent aging potential with precocious charm】
This 1990 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru is perfect for a sophisticated dinner, a special anniversary, or a gathering of wine enthusiasts. Its maturity and complexity make it a contemplative wine. As a wine of this age, the cork may be delicate; a two-pronged cork puller (Ah-So) or a Durand is recommended. While some older wines benefit from decanting, this wine's delicate aromatics might be best preserved with minimal aeration. If decanting, do so just before serving for no more than 30 minutes, or simply open and let it breathe in the bottle. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
🍴 Food Pairing: This elegant Pinot Noir pairs exquisitely with herb-crusted rack of lamb or wild mushroom tart. It also complements beef, duck, game, and lamb dishes.
🥂 Event: Ideal for a celebratory meal, a fine dining experience, or a serious Burgundy tasting.
