Histoire du domaine
The Grivot family has been based in Vosne-Romanée for several generations. At the end of the 18th century, Joseph Grivot left Arcenant to settle in Burgundy, in Vosne-Romanée. The family’s wine-growing estate grew gradually throughout the 20th century. A plot in Clos de Vougeot was acquired in 1919 by Gaston Grivot. By the 1930s, the family was among the producers in Vosne-Romanée who bottled and marketed their own wines. Jean Grivot succeeded Gaston and expanded the estate by acquiring a plot of Richebourg in 1984. His son Étienne joined the business in 1982, then succeeded him in 1987 alongside his wife Marielle. Mathilde and Hubert Grivot in turn joined the family estate in 2010. Mathilde took charge of winemaking as part of the handover initiated by her parents, whilst she and Hubert now ensure the estate’s continuity within the family.
