Domaine Jean Grivot's Clos de Vougeot is a single ~1.87-hectare block (one of the larger holdings in the Clos), in the Quatorze Journaux sector along the Route Nationale, running unbroken across the three terroir bands of the Clos. Soils range from deep clay-loam at the bottom to stonier, thin-topsoil sections over oolitic limestone at the top. House protocol - full destemming, cold soak, indigenous yeast - then around eighteen months in oak, with new oak in the 60-70% range (Étienne-era level). 2014 in the Côte de Nuits delivered refined, fresh, terroir-transparent reds, less rich than 2009 or 2012 but riper than 2008. June 28 hail hit the Beaune side hardest; Nuits fared better.
