Happy New Year 2025 to everyone on Delectable!

The 09’ Grivot Nuits-St-Georges Roncière was my red of the night - a wine of elegance and earthy allure. This was another stellar showing in what has been an exceptional run for Grivot in my wine adventures last year.

The wine opened with aromas of pure red fruits backlit by savoury earthy spice and mocha warmth, followed by whispers of dried florals and an animalistic edge. The palate was a finely honed interplay of minerality and time-honed sweetness. It had beautiful soft textures, guided by refined tannins that felt polished yet somewhat firm. The finish lingered with salty cherry energy, a delicate salinity that elevated the fruit into something quite ethereal. I just loved how the wine effortlessly balanced finesse and rusticity, leaving an indelible impression of place and personality. — a month ago

Wonderful. This agile, powerful ballerina dancing down the old granite stair case in the castle. — 5 months ago

I am a bit sentimental about this producer botting. Drank a lot of this w/ my friend as we were studying for the Sommelier exam. At our celebration after passing the exam, I had Vintage Wine Merchant decant the 2011. Had them pour everyone a taste blind, including 9 or 10 Master Sommeliers and much to our surprise none of them called Burgundy. Surprising but it made all the newly graduated Sommeliers feel better about the wines we missed over months blind tasting-testing daily.

My Continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.

Beautiful, slightly & just syrupy mid red fruits on the nose w/ brilliant red, blue flowers with a splash of violets.

This drinks incredibly well young. It is clean & juicy. Ripe & some sour toned, red cherries, strawberries, black berries, black raspberries. Baking spices; clove, nutmeg, cinnamon to stick and vanillin, dark spice, cedar, dry to fresh tobacco, hints of grilled meats, red cola, black & red licorice, dry brush-twig, mostly dry herbs, limestone minerals w/ volcanics mixed in, bright, red, dark, blue flowers framed in violets. Excellent rainfall acidity and a well made, neatly polished, elegant finish that last minutes and lands on Clive & dark spice.

At $120, a steal in this line up. Cellar 5 years and will drink well for another 10 years. — 2 months ago

Mellow, medium body Burgundy from Nuits-Saint-Georges. Pleasant to drink. Didn’t quite have the mineral and acidic backbone structure I had hoped for and expected from a premier cru. — 2 years ago

Garnet with significant bricking. The nose is all savoury with umami, barbecue meat, and smoke. The palate is again dominated by savoury meatiness. Soy. Very elegant. Classic burgundy - bold and powerful flavours with ethereal weight. — 6 months ago

2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted over the course of 1.25 hours. Light-medium body. A little tart throughout with a gooseberry note. Thought it might improve slightly with a little time in the decanter but stayed the same throughout. 3.28.24. — 10 months ago
