A silky, luscious red Burgundy made from Gamay – now that's a rare thing. Wine Advocate described "the fleshy ripe fruit" of this delicious Grivot wine. Aged partly in new oak, it's clearly a serious wine. Juicy plum and cherry with leafy notes.

There is huge praise for this estate based in Vosne-Romanée. The family came to Burgundy from the Jura about 120 years ago. Gradually, over time, they have been buying up plots of the finest terroir and making wines of even greater finesse. Current owner Etienne Grivot studied in Beaune before working in California, then other French regions. Wine Advocate’s Neal Martin describes his visit to the estate, “One of the most consistent and pleasurable tastings, wines that brim over with complexity, terroir expression and deliciousness.” This Coteaux Bourguignons revives the wine his grandfather used to make. Pure Gamay aged a third in new oak barriques, it's nothing like Beaujolais, but a red with wonderful depth, intensity and ageability.
