Domaine Jean Grivot – The Perfect Balance of Intensity and Elegance in Vosne-Romanée

A benchmark name among great Burgundy wines, Domaine Jean Grivot is located in Vosne-Romanée, at the very heart of the prestigious Côte de Nuits. Highly sought after by collectors and fine wine lovers worldwide, the estate produces Pinot Noir wines of remarkable precision, combining pure fruit expression, structure, mineral tension and outstanding ageing potential.

Since the early 1990s, the family estate has been led by Étienne Grivot, now joined by his daughter Mathilde Grivot, who represents the next generation and ensures the continuity of the domaine’s refined, terroir-driven style.

Terroirs & Vineyard Holdings – A Mosaic of Iconic Côte de Nuits Appellations

Viticulture & Winemaking – Precision, Patience and Pinot Noir Expression

The estate practices sustainable viticulture, with great respect for the vines and soils. Vineyard work is largely manual, and harvesting is done by hand, with careful sorting to ensure optimal grape quality.

In the cellar, winemaking is guided by precision and restraint: partial destemming depending on the vintage, long macerations, and gentle pigeage and pump-overs. Fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts. Ageing takes place in French oak barrels for around 16 to 18 months, with a variable proportion of new oak depending on the cuvée (approximately 30 to 50%).

House style: a highly recognizable signature combining structure, density, bright fruit and mineral tension. These are wines built for ageing, gaining complexity, depth and harmony over time.
