Étienne Grivot and his wife Marielle took over from Étienne’s father Jean Grivot in 1987. The vineyards are densely planted and farmed organically “\u003cem\u003esans certification\u003c\/em\u003e” while the aim in the cellar is for balance and clear expression of terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean Grivot’s 38.3 acres spread across 22 appellations with vineyards in the communes of Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot, Chambolle-Musigny, and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Besides the three grand crus, there are 8 premier crus including the much lauded Les Beaux Monts and Suchots in Vosne-Romanée. The grapes are completely de-stemmed and fermentation is spontaneous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNuits-Saint-Georges Les Roncière 1er cru lies in the “Zone de Saint-Georges” or central section of Nuits-Saint-Georges near the town itself. Roncière takes its name because the soil is so poor that it is said only “ronces” (mulberries) can grow there. It is produced from a 0.5-hectare parcel from vines planted in 1959.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are destemmed and maceration à froid usually lasts just a day or two. The alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous and malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel. Depending on the vintage, the proportion of new oak is around 30-60% for the premier crus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine shows aromas and flavors of red berries, herbs, and purple flowers. The palate is rich with ripe fruit and medium weight with bright acidity and fine tannins. Aging in 30-60% new Burgundian pièce brings notes of vanilla, toast, and baking spices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Burgundy might be the world’s most flexible food wine. The wine’s high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make it very food-friendly. Red Burgundy, with its earthy and sometimes gamey character, is a classic partner to roasted game birds, grilled duck breast, and dishes that feature mushrooms, black truffles, or are rich in umami.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Review:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Ranciére ler Cru has a fragrant bouquet with oper-knit red berry fruit, briary and light ferrous scents in the background. The palate is ‘medium-bodied with sappy red frut, slightly grainy in texture, quite mineral drive witha touch of allspice and clave on the finish. Good acidity here, citric on the aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Vinous 91-93 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean Grivot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949146697775,"sku":"164954","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/grivotroncibtl_6945e00c-66eb-476b-93c0-3bd940f2146e.jpg?v=1771490039","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/jean-grivot-nuits-st-georges-premier-cru-les-roncieres-2020","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
