Located near the village of Meursault, this winery produces wines that resonate with fruits and minerality.
The slopes of Cote d’Or provide a limestone soil that infuses the grapes with a mineral flavor that is only found in wines from this area. Originally founded 1897, the estate owner passed away without an heir to the vineyard. Albert Grivault took a leap of faith to purchase the property as it was rampant with Phylloxera. Being a successful liquor distiller, he was able to get the vineyard running and has passed the Domaine Albert Grivault on to his grandchildren with great success and providing wines that are coveted all over the world.
Domaine Grivault’s white wines are generally regarded as of a very high caliber, and are described as having a bright, acidic nature with astounding levels of clear minerality and when the French wine magazine Bourgogne Aujourd’hui conducted a survey to find out the superior white wines of the white premier crus, Grivault’s Meursault ‘Clos de Perriéres’ came out on top.
Light yellow in color this Meursault has a light yellow color and a mineral tinged citrus perfume with hints of roasted hazelnuts.
It is flavorful, rounded and supple with citrus, mineral nuances and hints of pineapple and roasted hazelnuts.
Crisp with and citrus mineral tinge on the finish this is a really lovely Meursault - Outstanding
