Domaine Albert Grivault

The family domain of Albert Grivault is run by Michel Bardet (and his daughter Claire), who is the grandson of the founder Albert Grivault. The domain started in 1879. This was one year after the arrival of phyloxerra in Meursault and at the time it had holdings in Meursault and Clos de Vougeot. After the death of Albert Grivault there was no succession and the vineyards were rented out for a long time. Until the beginning of the 80's no own wine was made. In this time Michel Bardet started a company and together with his two sisters they rented the vineyards from their mother. Still a part of the proceeds are sold to other wineries. Lalou Bize-Leroy buys every year, as the only one, 600 bottles of bottled wine for Maison Leroy. Other loyal customers (in barriques) are Drouhin, Chanson, Boisset-Ropiteau and Colin. Colleagues like Mrs. Bize-Leroy helped him along the way and now the estate, with perhaps the best terroir in the village, is counted among the top in the Côte de Beaune. In the early '90s, monsieur Bardet opted for a grand cru status for the monopole 'Clos des Perrières'. However, this met with a lot of resistance from other wine makers in the village. Still there are wine connoisseurs who would like to grant this status. The wines are made on minerality and have a great storage potential. Website:

Michel Bardet

Michel Bardet was born as the son of Albert Grivault's daughter. As the vineyards of the domain were in métayage he could not become a winemaker in his youth. He trained as an engineer and worked for Siemens, among others. When in the '80s the contracts for métayage ended, he threw himself together with his sisters on the domain. Michel Bardet is a proud successor of his grandfather and does everything in his power to protect the domain name. The name of the vineyard behind the domain in Meursault has now been registered as a trademark, Clos du Murger. Michel has also worked to ensure that the monopole Clos des Perrières receives Grand Cru status, but this has met with much resistance from other winemakers with properties on the slopes of Meursault. Michel Bardet is currently assisted by his daughter Claire and son Henri-Marc.

Burgundy Wines

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Vlos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
