The history of Domaine Jean Grivot dates back to the early 20th century, though the estate as it exists today was shaped by Jean Grivot who took over the family business in the 1980s. He was instrumental in reviving the estate’s reputation and developing its commitment to quality winemaking. Under his leadership the domaine grew in both size and prestige, acquiring several exceptional vineyard plots in Burgundy’s most celebrated appellations. Etienne and his wife Marielle (Patrick Bize's sister) took over from his father in 1990 which made him the 5th generation of Grivots to make wine in Vosne-Romanée. In the 1930s it was one of the first domaines to bottle and sell the wines themselves. There is an average age of 45-50 year-old vines across this 15ha domaine which covers 22 appellations (18 red) with holdings in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Richebourg. Etienne produces a range of stunning wines which possess real depth and class. In answer to a question over the secret of his success, he confides "there's no recipe, it's very personal and as a result it's very frustrating as one's never content".
