Established in 1552, Domaine Rebourgeon-Mure is one of the oldest family-owned estates in Burgundy. Historically based in Pommard, the Domaine now stretches over Volnay and Baune too. Rebourgeon-Mure is crafting wines from 12 different appellations, offering wine lovers an unparalleled chance to explore the subtle nuances of the Domaine’s lieux dits. Charming wines of intense purity, balance and elegance are released year after year, reflecting the Domaine’s incredible terroirs and meticulous winemaking practices.
Time, terroir and methods of vinification have all combined to create a more subtle reality, a wine that is both richer and more sensitive. Its colour is the deep, dark red with mauve highlights which caused Victor Hugo to speak of it as “night in combat with day”. Its aromas are redolent of blackberry, bilberry, or gooseberry, cherry pit and ripe plum. Often, wild and feline notes develop with age. At full maturity, it tends towards leather, chocolate and pepper.

It needs to be given time to open up to its fullest extent and to display its mouth-filling texture, its firm but delicate structure, its fruit-filled mouth, and its chewy tannins, which by then will be properly smoothed down
