The Estate
“The Third Generation”
Family History
The estate was founded in Marsannay in 1910 by Henri Bouvier, Bernard’s grandfather. René Bouvier, Bernard’s father, took over in the mid-1950s, and developed the estate by buying and renting vineyard plots, reaching a total of 12 hectares (≈ 29.5 acres) in 1991.
Bernard then took over in 1992, continuing to expand the Domaine René Bouvier.
家族歷史
1910年，Bernard的祖父Henri Bouvier在Marsannay創建了酒莊。伯納德的父親René Bouvier於20世紀50年代中期接管了酒莊，並通過購買和租賃葡萄園地塊來發展酒莊，1991年酒莊的葡萄園總面積達到12公頃（約合29.5英畝）。1992年，Bernard接手酒莊，繼續擴大René Bouvier酒莊的規模。
In 1998, he bought Marsannay Le Clos (3 hectares / ≈ 7.5 acres) in Couchey, a monopole known for the quality of its white wine. It was also at this time that an additional hectare was added to the Clos du Roy cuvée.
From 2000 onwards, Bernard Bouvier began working in partnership with producers of Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines.
In 2001, the fundamentals of a new qualitative approach were in place: manual harvesting in small 20 kg boxes, with sorting tables, gravity fermentation, etc. The same year saw the acquisition of 2 hectares ( ≈ 5 acres) in Gevrey-Chambertin, including the very old vines that make up the Racine du Temps cuvée (90-year-old vines).
1998 年，他買下了位於 Couchey 的 Marsannay Le Clos（3 公頃/≈7.5 英畝），這是一個以優質白葡萄酒聞名的單一葡萄園。也是在這一時期，Clos du Roy 又增加了一公頃的面積。
從 2000 年起，Bernard Bouvier開始與頂級酒莊和特級酒莊的生產商合作。
2001 年，新的優質釀酒方法的基本條件已準備就緒：用 20 公斤的小箱子手工采摘，配備分揀台，重力發酵等。同年，酒莊在Gevrey-Chambertin獲得了 2 公頃（≈ 5 英畝）的土地，其中包括釀制 Racine du Temps 葡萄酒的 90 年樹齡的老藤。
The year 2006 marked a turning point, with the construction of a new winery in Gevrey-Chambertin, which makes it possible to experiment (e.g. a longer ageing period, demi-muids (600-litre barrels), and concrete egg-shaped tanks), for even more quality and purity in the wines.
2006 年是一個轉折點，在Gevrey-Chambertin新建的釀酒廠使釀酒實驗成為可能（例如，延長陳釀時間、使用半木桶（600 升橡木桶）和混凝土蛋形罐），以提高葡萄酒的質量和純度。
Even though careful soil management has always been a priority, 2009 saw the formal beginnings of 100% sustainable organic wine-making (with certification from the 2013 vintage onwards).
Since 2016, we have continued to follow the same working philosophy, but without official certification.
In 2019, Bernard took over the vineyards owned by his brother Régis, which are also in the Côte de Nuits, between Morey-Saint-Denis and Marsannay-La-Côte.
盡管土壤管理一直是我們工作的重中之重，但 2009 年，我們正式開始了 100% 可持續有機釀酒（從 2013 年份開始獲得認證）。
自 2016 年起，我們繼續遵循相同的工作理念，但沒有獲得官方認證。
2019年，Bernard接管了其兄弟Régis所擁有的葡萄園，這些葡萄園也位於Morey-Saint-Denis和Marsannay-La-Côte之間的Côte de Nuits。
