History

Originally rooted on Corton hill in the best terroirs of the Côte de Beaune, Pierre André revolutionised Bourgogne wine with his new ideas, his energy and his innate nose for business. His name, now a brand whose reputation has grown over the generations, brings to mind the most wonderful appellations for lovers of Bourgogne wines.
