Description
About the Producer
The Pierre Bourée Winery In 1864, Pierre Bourée took over the ancient winery and gave it his name. He then expanded his winery by acquiring an area enclosed by walls on the eastern edge of Dijon-Lyon, at a place called ‘Justice’ in 1903. In 1922, Pierre’s son, Bernard, succeeded him and bought a parcel of Grand Cru vines: Charmes-Chambertin. Later in 1945, Bernard’s nephew took charge of the business, accompanied by his sibling, François. Together, they brought revolutionary changes to the cellar and the winery and managed to extend the family business outside Europe. Today, Jean-Christophe is handling all the functions of Pierre Bourée after the retirement of his brother, Bernard. The headquarter is located in Gevrey-Chambertin, among the picturesque landscapes of the Bourgogne wine region. The company is well-known for its red, white, and sparkling wines, made from estate-owned grapes. Over ten years, the Pierre Bourée estate has established an array of about 40 appellations in Côte de Nuits, Côtes de Beaune, and the Chablisien. The harvest is done manually on these terroirs, and the berries are moved to the cellar carefully in boxes for pressing. With respect to nature, the company grows three grape varieties, namely Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Beurot.
