The Grosjean family's roots can be traced back to the village of Fornet in the high mountain passes of Valgrisenche, part of Valle d'Aosta. They primarily raised cattle in this area. During the summer months, the family also cultivated grapes and chestnuts on the slopes at lower altitudes, ensuring a stock of wine to sustain them through the long winters. In 1969, Dauphin Grosjean, the father of the five sons who now work together to produce wines at their estate, was encouraged to showcase his wine at a local wine exposition. His exceptional work was duly recognized, leading to the entire family becoming involved in expanding their vineyards and producing wine.
Today, the estate has grown to cover seven hectares of vineyards. It is located in the hamlet of Ollignan, on the border between the towns of Quart and Saint Christophe. The estate includes vineyard sites known as ‘cru’ sites, such as Tzeriat, Rovettaz, Creton, and Touren in Quart, as well as Tzantè de Bagnere, Merletta, and Castello di Pleod in Saint Christophe. The Grosjean family initially started with traditional grape varieties like Petit Rouge, along with some Gamay, Pinot Noir, and Petite Arvine. Over time, they have also planted other local varieties such as Fumin, Cornalin, Premetta, and Vuillermin.
The Grosjeans have been committed to sustainable farming techniques since 1975, using only organic fertilizers and avoiding the use of pesticides or herbicides. They also rely on natural yeasts for the fermentation process.
