Vintage information 2007:

The whites: could be excellent - concentrated though not too rich and superbly penetrating acidity on the best - assuming they do not age prematurely some will be monuments. Some are still a little 'raw' and will benefit from 1 year of rest
The reds: if you choose your producers - easier in the Côte de Nuits - these wines will make lovely early and medium-term drinking. Many are charming and ripe and easily differentiate the vineyards - Vosnes can be quite hedonistic - others can be a little thin though!

2007 Grivot Jean, Vosne-Romanée BossièresApr. 2009
A good, quite transparent melange of red and black fruits. Seems less obviously ripe and sweet versus most wines – a hint of licorice and good ripe tannin. Plenty of structure though nothing obviously out of place.
2007 Grivot Jean, Vosne-Romanée Les Beaux MontsApr. 2009
High tones dominate, perhaps a little diffuse but over a good core of red fruit. Wow – density and ‘gras’ that few of the 1ers replicate – yet with good balancing acidity. Plenty of ripe tannin, super wine here with a tannin-laden finish.
2007 Grivot Jean, EchézeauxApr. 2009
Wide and quite complex, the nose shows a melange of fruit. Mouth-filling with lots of very ripe tannin and many dimensions of flavour. Less obviously fresh than some but regardless, this is super.
