Based in Nuits-St-Georges the Grivot holdings improved vastly with Jean's marriage into the Jayer family.  Etienne, Jean's son is the current winemaker who focuses on firm, concentrated flavors and pure Pinot aromas.

 

"This is gorgeously airy and fine with beautiful aromas of floral and spicy black fruit and subtle hints of soy, Asian spice and anise that can also be found on the rich, detailed and minerally middle weight flavors that possess excellent transparency and near perfect balance. This offers real drive and energy but note that it is very firmly if not aggressively structured and will require a decade plus to really be at its best." Allen Meadows, Burghound (rated 92, Wine Advocates, David Schildknecht rated 92-93).
