This estate, dating to 1879, has been up and down over the years. It is best known for its monopole Meursault-Clos des Perrières, often considered the best part of the Perrières vineyard.
On this showing, the estate is producing wines worthy of attention.
2016 Meursault Clos du Murger
This wine shows good minerality, stoniness, and some roundness and breadth. It is an attractive village Meursault that can compete with many a premier cru. 91/A
In addition to the Clos des Perrières below, Grivault also makes a Meursault-Perrières from vines located outside the Clos des Perrières, but the 2016 was not shown with these other wines.
2016 Meursault Clos des Perrières
Here, the wine is round, smooth, and less stony than the Clos du Murger. There’s some sweetness to the fruit here, but not from residual sugar. With time, the wine may turn out even better, but I don’t have the previous experience with Clos des Perrières to offer a guess. 92(+?)/A
2015 Pommard 1er Cru Clos Blanc
Switching to red, the grapes here are 100% destemmed. There is 10% new oak on this wine, and the vines are old. The wine is ripe and round with dark fruit, minerality, and a smooth texture. This is a Pommard that is approachable young. 92/A
