Description
In the 19th century Pierre Bourée took over a wine business founded in 1864 in Gevrey-Chambertin and gave his name to it. He acquired a vineyard clos , called LA JUSTICE, in 1903, surrounded by walls, running alongside the N°74 main road. Pierre planted vines, giving it the name « CLOS DE LA JUSTICE» In 1922, his son Bernard succeeded him and created the current sign of the house : PIERRE BOUREE FILS. He bought a plot of Grand Cru vineyard in CHARMES-CHAMBERTIN. In 1945, Bernard Bourée began training his nephew, LOUIS VALLET, who then, assisted by his brother FRANCOIS, became the director of the house. Together, they enlarged the cellars and fermenting room whilst developing the business outside of Europe. As time passed, the vineyards were extended : In 1985 with BEAUNE 1er cru Les Epenottes; In 1993 with GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN 1er cru Les Champeaux, BOURGOGNE ROUGE and in the past year with BOURGOGNE BLANC. To day, BERNARD and JEAN-CHRISTOPHE VALLET run the house.
