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.
Richebourg
Richebourg is both a Grand Cru appellation and a physically delimited climat of Vosne-Romanée, consisting of the lieux-dits Les Richebourgs and Les Véroilles ou Richebourgs. It occupies the foothills of the slope between 260 and 290 meters, on a gentle slope facing east. Its shallow, clayey, carbonate-rich soils with high iron oxide content rest on Bajocian marls and soft limestones, beneath a colluvial cover blending scree, clays, and silts.

Histoire de la parcelle
The name Richebourg is attested as early as 1512. The Abbey of Cîteaux owned vines on the site, probably since the 17th century, and contributed to its renown. Recognized among the finest crus in the classifications of the 18th and 19th centuries, Richebourg was extended in 1924 to include Les Véroilles sous Richebourg following an agreement between owners ratified by the Court of Appeal of Dijon. The appellation d'origine contrôlée was recognized on September 11, 1936, with the boundaries defined in 1924.
