Domaine Albert Grivault Meursault 1er Perrieres 2020
The new 2020 vintage Meursault Perrieres is the ‘sexiest’ release from this legendary vineyard and a sublime testament to the elite quality of this vintage. The silky smooth texture and alluring bouquet impress from the start. Aromas of pear, lemon oil and honeysuckle. Those enticing notes continue through the luxurious mid-palate leading to crisp, clean and elegant flavors of nectarines, Fuji apples, plus tropical fruit and hints of Tahitian vanilla. This delightful new arrival will offer enormous pleasure to drink over the next 5 – 6 years (decant prior to 2025). – May 2023
Domaine Albert Grivault Winery
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.
