Grosjean winery
The Grosjean family is a historical name of the Aosta Valley wine.. The winery is in Ollignan, Quart, which is close to Aosta. The 10-hectare park is grown in complete harmony with nature. We say this because we are in the third year of the organic system, and Vincent Grosjean has taken on an important task for Aosta Valley wine: going back to its roots.
Papa Dauphin put it in a bottle for the first time in 1969 so he could show it off at the II Exposition des Vins du Val d’Aoste. It was the start of the Grosjean family’s adventure. Their love of wine led them to focus on it so much that their five children now run the business.
Philosophy of the Grosjean winery
Since wine was still considered a food, the Grosjean family has been dedicated to it. And this has made and kept their love for their land strong. There are no chemicals or insecticides used, and the Guyot system is used to train the birds.
Classic Aosta Valley vines like Petit Rouge, Gamay, Pinot Noir, and Petite Arvine are grown, and over time, the native Fumin, Cornalin, Prmetta, and Vuillermin have been added. We’re dealing with winemakers who are working on a project called “territoriality” to make wines that taste like the mountains and woods. The wines have a structure, but they flow naturally. They have nuanced aromas and are elegant because they are made without forcing. Only native yeasts and very little sulfur dioxide.
Grosjean wines’ style
Are the wines organic? First of all, they are real wines that know how to sing the song of the earth. Vincent tells us that “organic” is more than just respect and care for the consumer. First and foremost, he says, it’s about the taste of the wine. The range goes from the traditional vines of the Aosta Valley to a Chardonnay with a mineral taste that comes from the stars. The prices are set, and the wines are always perfect, with a lot of personality and depth.

Aosta Valley Fumin Vigne Rovettaz
Interesting and deep nose that reminds you of the undergrowth, with graphite and pepper to back it up. It has a warm, fruity center that is clear and easy to pick out. Light and shadow play with sweet spices. In the mouth, it’s full, balsamic, and full of character, with sapid momentum, concentration, and an elegant pace. It has a long finish and will age well. It goes well with veal with tuna sauce, chicken curry, baked lasagna, roast beef, hamburgers, fillet Wellington, and baked lasagna.
Aosta Valley Petite Arvine Vigne Rovettaz
Sparkling gold. It opens with sensations of citrus, fern, and flowers, all declined with natural elegance. Accompanying aromatic herbs and mineral returns. If the nose is clear and typical, in the mouth the balance between body, roundness, and freshness is exemplary and finds a tonic development that leads to a dry and very savory finish. To be combined with a classic of Valle d’Aosta cuisine: Fontina fondue and egg in ravioli.
Valle d’Aosta, Torrette Superiore, Vigne Rovettaz
A lively nose with nuanced tones that play among small forest fruits, with plenty of raspberries accompanied by sweet spices, pepper, and juniper.

Aosta Valley Cornalin Vigne Rovettaz
Ruby. Intense and multifaceted in its set of berries, violets, and a sequence of tasty spices that outline a refined bouquet. Agile, savory mouth, with good temperament and finesse.

Valle d’Aosta Pinot Noir, Vigna Tzeriat

In the mouth, it is measured, enveloping, and very fine-grained, with sapidity on display to guide a precise liveliness. Peppery and austere finish. To be combined with Milanese cutlet, risotto with truffles, bagna cauda, Peking lacquered duck, and tuna tataki with sesame and soy sauce.
