Product Notes

Domaine Albert Grivault Meursault 1er Cru 'Clos des Perrières' is an elegant and complex white wine that hails from the famed Meursault vineyards in Burgundy, France. This premier cru wine is made using the highly prized chardonnay grapes, which are carefully handpicked from the small, enclosed vineyard of Clos des Perrières. The wine has a bright golden hue and it displays aromas of honey, butter, and toasty oak with notes of ripe apple. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with layers of complex fruit flavors and a subtle minerality that adds a refreshing zing to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, with a smooth and creamy texture that makes it an excellent match for fine cuisine and cheese.

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.
