Grivot/Jean Vosne-Romanée 1er cru Aux Brûlées 2022

95-97 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées 1er Cru has a wonderful, expressive bouquet with shimmering red berry fruit, white flowers and hints of blood orange. Very harmonious and poised. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. It’s not powerful but tensile with an almost crystalline finish fanning out effortlessly. Superb. (Drink between 2027-2050. (Jan 2024)"

96 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "The Grivots have two parcels across the terraces of this Premier Cru, and their southeastern exposition and higher elevation contribute freshness, despite the climat name meaning 'burned'. Smelling of potpourri, amaro herbs and forest berries, the fruit is lushly ripe but maintains proper acidic freshness. It's the tugging, deep-rooted tannins that give the palate real tautness. This has impressive, mineral-driven persistence, but it will need a considerable amount of time in the cellar. (Jan 2024)"

95 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "With its deep colour and pronounced raspberry and rose petal perfume, the 2022 Brûlées is charming on the initial attack. There is a bit of reduction at this stage, but that will disappear after racking in the New Year. The texture is pleasantly silky but not lacking in freshness or grip. The wine is produced from a quarter-hectare of old vines next to the vines of the former René Engel estate. The destemmed fruit is gently fermented on native yeasts and aged in cask with a moderate proportion of new wood. Drinking Window: 2035-2075. (11/2/23)"

92-95 points/'Sweet spot,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "Firm reduction. Much more interesting are the super-sleek and tautly muscular larger-bodied flavors that flash good minerality on the borderline painfully intense, powerful and robust finale that also goes on and on. This compact effort is also clearly built-to-age and a wine that should also age effortlessly. Drink: 2034+. (Jan 2024)"

92-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Ruby crimson colour, a reductive nose, with a bit of the burnt limestone character of Brûlées. Much greater density on the palate, this is a solid powerful, correctly ripe pinot, which does not show the reductive character in the mouth. A clean fine long finish. (Nov 2023)"
