The Rebourseau family moved into Gevrey when Jean-Baptiste Rebourseau married a Gevrey native, Louise Victoire Philippon, in 1861. Over the last 150 years, the estate has grown to now include an exceptional 5 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards, 1 hectare of 1er Cru and 6 hectares of village wine, managed by Jean-Baptiste’s descendants, Bénigne and Louis de Sorrel. The most recent development in the estate’s history was in 2018 when Martin and Olivier Bouygues, owners of Ch. Montrose in St Estèphe, purchased a majority interest in this fine Gevrey Chambertin domaine. These are exciting times for the two families. They made a substantial investment in new cellars, a new winery and continued attention to biodynamic viticulture, which they embraced in 2009. This means that the Rebourseau estate is destined for even greater recognition in the future. Wine maker Bénigne is adjusting the oak management programme: his father Jean preferred to use old oak for the maturation of his wines, whereas Bénigne favours a little more new oak to enhance fruit characters, and foresees that the perfect balance for the top cuvées will be 60% new oak.Read less
