Producer Information
Pierre Bourée was established in Gevery-Chambertin way back in 1864, as both Burgundy négociant, vinifying parcels of grapes from a family of growers, and making estate wines from their own holdings in Charmes Chambertin, Gevrey-Chambertin and Beaune. Today, brothers Bernard and Jean-Christophe Vallet run the house alongside their sons, Pierre and Louis Henry. They produce traditional Burgundy wines focused on balance and finesse rather than power.Though not fully organic, the brothers work in an environmentally friendly way, maintaining the soil by ploughing rather than chemical treatments, and controlling of vine vigour and yields through careful pruning. Only manure has been used as fertiliser for the last half a century, with again no synthetic fertilisers. All harvesting is manual.
