Visit Domaine Grivot: Tasting of the 2017s from tank

A new year and a new vintage – and back at Rue de la Croix Rameau .. looking forward to taste the Grivot 2017s.

The 2016s showed very well in my view, with a lovely balance and intensity – the 2017 are somewhat lighter and more forward offering a more sunny and fresh style than the somewhat more serious 2016s.

Impressions from the tasting of the 2017s from Domaine Grivot

Mathilde Grivot had prepared a tasting of the wines from tank – as the wines were getting ready for bottling.

Mathilde Grivot – February 2019

The 2017 vintage is a quite large harvest – very welcome after the relatively modest crop in 2016 .. and the 2017 have both good quality and good yields.

It’s a charming year, that will provide fine drinking over the next decade or so, and presumably even longer for the big grand crus and 1er crus.

As always there are some variations between the cuvées .. see below.
