Born in the heart of a site steeped in history, the Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 from Domaine Jean Grivot embodies the sensuous elegance and mineral precision of a great Burgundy Pinot Noir. On this legendary terroir of the Côte de Nuits, the vine converses with the stone, and the 2022 vintage offers a luminous ripeness that enhances the cru's expression without ever losing restraint. This cuvée is aimed at lovers of characterful wines, collectors seeking accuracy and gourmets looking for a couture red capable of accompanying a service full of nuance. The domaine's signature, recognised for its meticulous approach and measured yields, favours pure fruit, a taut texture and refined tannins, producing a wine that combines contained power with timeless grace. At the table its presence asserts itself discreetly, then unfolds brilliantly, like a musical piece in which each motif answers the next. A Grand Cru that seduces not by showmanship but by evident quality.

Assemblage et vinification

This wine is made exclusively from Pinot Noir, the leading grape of the Côte de Nuits, coming from the historic perimeter of the Clos de Vougeot classified as Grand Cru AOC. The berries, harvested at carefully judged ripeness, are subject to a careful sorting to retain only the quintessence of the vintage. Vinification, guided by the experience of Domaine Jean Grivot, aims for balance, terroir clarity and precision of tannic grain. Extractions remain controlled to preserve aromatic purity, while estate ageing, carried out with rigour, polishes the material without imprinting it, guiding the wine towards superior harmony. Far from stylistic effects, the approach favours refinement, uprightness and an underlying energy that give this 2022 an elegant silhouette, ready to shine today after aeration and to develop over time.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Deep ruby with a delicate sheen, clear and concentrated, suggesting a silky texture and great intensity without heaviness.
• Nose : Complex bouquet of red and black fruits, juicy cherry and subtle ripe notes, lifted by refined floral accents—violet and peony—fine spices, a hint of black tea and an elegant undergrowth note that reflects the terroir.
• Palate : A straight, precise opening, caressing texture and long polished tannins. The mid-palate combines savoury density and freshness, with a sapid extension that stretches over notes of berries, wet stone and gentle spices. The finish, long and noble, calls for food.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Grand Cru at 15 to 16°C in a large Burgundy-style glass to showcase the finesse of the aromas and the texture. A measured aeration, about one hour in a decanter for its youth, will reveal the depth of the fruit and the wine's balance without compromising precision. Store the bottle in the cellar under good conditions, protected from vibrations and temperature fluctuations. The 2022 can already be enjoyed for its accessible grace after aeration and will gain complexity with a few years of age, depending on your taste for tertiary nuances. When serving, favour delicate dishes cooked just right, for a harmonious dialogue between plate and glass.

Accords mets et vin

• Starters & canapés : veal tartare hand-cut, pearl jus and capers; deboned roasted quail with a short jus; thin tart of mushrooms and seasonal truffle.
• Premium fish : roasted turbot with chanterelles and reduced jus; black-sesame seared tuna with beetroot and pink peppercorns—pairings that play on tension and breadth.
• Meats : free-range poultry with morels; beef fillet en croûte with roast jus; Grenoble-style veal chop; pink milk-fed lamb with fine herbs and a seasoned jus.
• Cheeses : aged Comté, matured Brillat-Savarin, chalky tomme, selection of soft bloomy-rind cheeses served at the right temperature.
• Desserts : poached pear with light spices; lightly sweetened dark chocolate opera; restrained pairings to preserve the wine's momentum.
