About the Winery

Domaine Albert Grivault has a history that spans the life events of four generations of the Grivault family. The winery's founder, Albert Grivault, devoted his life to wine-making following his father's death in 1875. Albert was ambitious and entrepreneurial, taking over a distillery in his village of Meursault in 1877 when he was only 21 years old. In two years, he bought the Clos des Perrières, which was put up for auction, from the heirs of Marquis de La Troche. The Clos des Perrières was an authentic vineyard, stretching over a hectare and reputed in the region for years. He fought against the growing insect attacks that came to Burgundy by using hybrids and grafts. In 1888, Albert created a distillery in Béziers and developed his vineyard estate the same year.
