Grivot Jean

1988 Grivot Jean Nuits St.Georges Les Pruliers

By on December 31, 2002 #asides

Old style label. Garnet in shade. The nose is deep and still oaky with eventually some dried fruit as a higher register, but I have to say not all that attractive. This is still a big wine with good concentration of black fruit, a broad palate, relatively mild acidity and still strong tannins which are a little bitter in the finish. The length is not bad. Overall not a patch on what the Corton could have been. If the tannin resolves further this will be a better wine, but don’t bother searching for it.

Medium/full ruby colour. Nose is incisive red berries at the top end with faint plum lower down. Palate is quite fat with a surprising amount of tannin, though quite smooth. When last tasted 18 months ago I thought the acidity a little over the top – now less so. Deeply extracted red cherries on the tongue and quite long too. Still a baby. Excellent villages.

Very deep colour. Nose not quite so closed, a few ‘higher notes’ – almost school ink smell. High acid, incredible thick tannin – you can chew it! Medium (for this company) length. Apparently, Etienne Grivot cold soaks, de-stems and has a long, low temp. fermentation, compared to Anne Gros’s. . . .
