| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.5 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Lipsman on 7/24/2023 & rated 92 points: This bottle had more body than the previous. Smooth and lithe, with medium body, red fruit. Still lacking complexity for a grand cru of its stature. (549 views) | | | Tasted by Lipsman on 4/1/2023 & rated 91 points: A thin drinking Richebourg, cherries and some astringency. Good with food to cover its deficiencies Drink now. This has no where to go but down. (722 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 1/25/2020 & rated 88 points: The 2006 Jean Grivot Richebourg exhibits opulent Vosne Romanee scent with superb richness and intensity. Tasted blind – A serious bouquet of dark fruits with good dose of new oak. Muscular with inner floral note and liquorice spices of Vosne Romanee. Classic winemaking, destemmed and generously oaked. Grand Cru weight, hints of savoury note and the drying tannins on the palate reminds me of 2006, a vintage that is savoury with slightly austere tannins for red Burgundy. Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Aux Brulees (right next to Richebourg)? 2006? Meo Camuzet? (88/100) (2695 views) | | | Tasted by Eaulivier on 12/28/2017 & rated 94 points: Cette bouteille au nez magnifique et a la.bouche toute en finesse ce montre assez évolué...très bon mais à boire assez rapidement (2733 views) | | | Tasted by Max_K on 11/19/2017 & rated 95 points: Great depth, velvety texture, very Richebourg. WOTN against stop stiff competition. (2806 views) | | | Tasted by wineappellation on 4/23/2017 & rated 96 points: Pale ruby light rim. White peppe, floral, earth, fresh red berries. Lots of ripe velvet tannin, refreshingly acidic, full body light on its feet. More citrus fruit and even some passion fruit, sour cherry, hawthron note in palate, some minerality and black tea. Lingering long finish. 96+ (3206 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Levenberg on 12/23/2015 & rated 95 points: Actually showing very nicely today. I wouldn't call it fruit-forward, but it's not forbiddingly tannic either; instead of acting like a shell, the structure is nicely melded into the fruit in a latticework of fine tannin that's more delicate and feminine than the usual expectation for Richebourg. (Though I have notes on the DRC of the same vintage from a couple years ago and they are similar!) This opens with prickly blackberry fruit, a subtle dusting of five-spice, and another flavor that's more out-there and advanced, suggestive of antique wood and wheat/grain-like flavors. With air the fruit profile turns redder and picks up more primary sweetness and gloss, though the web of tannin is always there giving it a more worsted woolen texture. (8595 views) | | | Tasted by DonalOB on 4/22/2013 & rated 95 points: Full savoury, meaty nose with some raspberry as well. Smokey. Still quite tannic but developing. A powerful, austere, robust burgundy with a nice mineral quality. (4291 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 6/8/2010 & rated 94 points: 2006-2007 Vosne Romanee tasting inc. Grivot, Liger-Belair, Leroy, Eugenie, Dugat-Py, Rouget (Tel Aviv): Dark berries, forest floor and baryard aromas. Very much a Grivot wine, this is a manly Richebourg... balanced, but spicy and quite big. Obviously young but open enough to assess right now. Needs 10 years to evolve. (5538 views) |

| Domaine Jean Grivot Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
