This is a gorgeous set of wines from Etienne and Marielle Grivot that captures the essence of several of Vosne's most illustrious vineyards. Grivot encourages slow malos and leaves the wines on the lees for approximately 15 months after the vinification. New oak ranges from 15-20% for the villages, 30-50% for the 1ers and 40-70% for the grands crus. Based on the wines I tasted 2009 looks like a much more consistent vintage than 2008 from top to bottom. The finest 2008s are also well worth considering, but there are more highs and lows, especially in the entry part of the range.

Etienne Grivot described the 2008 growing season as completely crazy. "Those who had active leaf cover on their vines could benefit from the long vegetative cycle," added Grivot, who did two passes through his vineyards but never cuts off the leaves on the north and east sides of the vines because he believes this results in a loss of finesse in the wines. Essentially, the fruit he eliminated was the 5% to 15% of the berries that flowered too late, and this fruit was very easy to sort out. There was little or no rot. Grivot compares 2008 to 1993 but believes that the new set of wines has suaver tannins and more unctuous texture. "The wines are dense but introverted and they will age well." The malos finished about three weeks prior to my visit and the wines were then sulfited; I tasted blends of each cuvee from multiple barrels. Grivot described 2007 as "very pinot, very accessible, with good terroir character. It's a vintage of charm and pleasure, a lot like 2000, and a perfect initiation to Burgundy."
