Winemakers Etienne Grivot and his wife Marielle are the 5th generation of the Grivot family to be running the domaine. The 15ha vines range from 45-to 50-years old, across 22 sites including great village and cru; Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos de Vougeot, Echezeaux and Richebourg. Without doubt one of the undisputed stars of Burgundy, Etienne Grivot has quietly gone about his business over the past couple of decades, slowly but steadily nuancing his wines gently and gradually so that today, he is universally admired for being in the very top echelon of Burgundian producers. A very ‘natural’ approach in the vineyards, using organic treatments only, grass-cover, horse and plough (currently around 30% of the whole estate and increasing, including Richebourg, Echezeaux and the Premiers Crus), harder pruning, more rigorous canopy management and a far more rigorous crop-thinning and bunch selection process.
