With two vineyard plots totalling 1 ha 54 a 59 ca, the Albert Grivault estate is the main owner in the Perrières appellation, Meursault's flagship Premier Cru vineyard that many experts believe should be elevated to Grand Cru status.
"The estate is capable of crafting harmonious, silky-textured wines with considerable again potential.” (Parker’s Wine Buyer’s Guide, 6th Ed).
In 2019 the Albert Grivault Estate celebrated its 140th anniversary; a successful family legacy spanning four generations.
After Albert Grivault, the estate was run by Albert Grivault’s widow and then by his daughters Berthe Grivault and Mathilde Bardet, née Grivault.
Together, they managed to overcome the 1929 crisis and the two World Wars.
In 1980, Albert Grivault’s grandchildren, Michel Bardet, Marguerite, and Denise Chevignard, née Bardet, took over the estate. Marguerite Bardet continued to work at the estate until 2019.
Since 2004, the responsibility for the estate has been passed on to Claire Bardet, managing director, assisted by Henri Marc, who is in charge of vinification under the guidance of Michel, who still participates in the aging and marketing of the wines.
