The estate

Founded in 1782 and present in 9 Burgundian appellations, Domaine Henri Rebourseau is one of the estates which owns the most extensive surface area of Grands Crus in the Côte de Nuits. The estate hails its exceptional heritage-filled vines, resting on land that has been cultivated for over 1,400 years. Today, the de Surrel family work this exceptional heritage with organic and biodynamic farming practices. Thus, there is no unique "Rebourseau taste" and the estate's quality-oriented approach emphasises the crucial part that the ''climat'' plays in the production of fine wines.
