Les Brulees 1996

The Jean Grivot Les Brûlées 1996 is an exceptional Premier Cru from Vosne-Romanée, one of the most prestigious vineyards in the heart of Burgundy. The Jean Grivot estate is among the region's most traditional producers, cultivating its vines with the utmost precision and respect for the terroir. This bottle comes from the legendary 1996 Vintage, prized for its structure, longevity, and classic elegance – a perfect example of a mature Burgundy wine.

The vinification was carried out using classic methods: gentle hand-harvesting, temperature-controlled fermentation, and extended aging in French oak barrels. The result is a Pinot Noir of exceptional depth, perfectly reflecting the minerality and finesse of its origin. The 1996 Jean Grivot Les Brûlées is now at its optimal drinking age, with soft tannins and a wonderful balance between fruit and mature notes.

On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, dried roses, forest floor, and a hint of truffle unfold. On the palate, it is hearty and classic, with a silky texture, fine acidity, and notes of undergrowth, tobacco, and dark berries. The finish is long, elegant, and carried by a subtle spiciness – a wine that tells stories.
