GROSJEAN
VALLE D'AOSTA
Heroes of the vine
Within the steep slopes of the Aosta Valley, Grosjean Vins cultivates their vineyards with the utmost care and dedication. The location of the winery has earned acclaim as a heroic viticulture endeavour, based on the high altitudes, remote working areas and cooler alpine climate. With other presenting challenges like climate change and drought, this collectively imparts a distinctive character to their collection of wines.
Using advanced irrigation techniques, Grosjean ensures that water and nutrients are used efficiently, preserving the natural vitality of the land. Cultivation in this region is no easy feat, and is a testament to the family's commitment to producing exceptional, natural wines that truly express the terroir.
Our mixed cases are inclusive of tax and bottle deposit. Each mixed case contains 2 bottles of each Fumin DOC 2022, Torrette DOC 2022 and Pinot Noir DOC 'Vigna Tzeriat' 2022
Full Description
The Grosjean family dates back to the 1600s, when at the time the Duke of Savoy sent families from Savoy and Burgundy to repopulate the Valle d’Aosta after the plague of 1630. These families recovered the abandoned lands, and they allowed for the winemaking tradition of Burgundy to germinate in the Valle d’Aosta.
Centuries pass of success and decline, thanks to global events such as the two world wars, but the Grosjean family persevered. The last 20 years of the 20th century are marked by a shift in the Valley, a great opportunity for the producers, where investment and interest grew to rediscover the native varietals of the region - Fumin, Petit Rouge, Petite Arvine, Torrette and more. This is when Grosjean begins to really grow - refining their winemaking knowledge and agricultural techniques, allowing them to compete and define themselves as a top player in the valley’s wine industry.
Today, Grosjean continues to be a family operation ahead of the curve - with a new cellar built in the 2000’s and an agricultural shift to producing organic wines. Their commitment allows for wines hailing from an unlikely place to be enjoyed around the world.

"We aren’t just producers, we live for wine…"
The Grosjean family's roots trace back to the 16th century, when they settled in the Aosta Valley and began cultivating the land. Fast forward to 1968, when Dauphin Grosjean bottled his first Ciliegiolo wine, sparking the entrepreneurial spirit that would transform the family’s winemaking legacy. Over the years, Dauphin's five sons took on roles within the vineyard and winery, helping to expand and improve their operations.
In recent years, the third generation have taken to the helm. The Grosjean family has always believed in respecting nature, a principle evident in their early avoidance of pesticides and their commitment to organic certification, achieved in 2011. Every bottle from Grosjean Vins is not just a product; it’s a piece of their enduring legacy of passion, from each generation.
