Description
Jacques Rebourseau was a respected winemaker from Lugny. His son Claude Rebourseau settled in La Roche Vanneau in 1782. Modest farmers, they belonged to the hard-working rural class of the day involved in viticulture. They passed their passion for winemaking onto their children, one of whom was Jean-Baptiste Rebourseau. In 1919, the General Henri Rebourseau founded the domain on his father’s vineyards and he contributed to the growth of the estate for four generations. In 1955, his son Pierre took over the estate and tended it carefully until the eighties. Pierre Rebourseau handed over the management of the estate to his grandson Jean de Surrel in 1981. This was to be a significant turning point in the history of the Domaine. Jean de Surrel adopted organic winegrowing practices a biodynamic approach since 2012.
