A cornerstone of Gevrey-Chambertin, Estate Henri Rebourseau boasts one of the region’s most enviable collections of vineyards, with nearly every Grand Cru you could hope for. Over the years, it has won over Burgundy lovers with wines that capture flawless fruit expression in the purest Burgundian tradition.

Backed by the Bouygues family yet still run by its historic owners, the estate has taken a giant leap forward, embracing a profound transformation in both scale and style.

The vineyards are now being converted to biodynamics, a gleaming new winery has been built, and state-of-the-art equipment allows for gentle gravity-flow handling.
