René Bouvier

We first met Bernard Bouvier in rented cellars in Gevrey-Chambertin itself before he built spacious new premises in 2006 up the road towards Dijon. He came to our attention on the recommendation of fellow Gevrey producer, Bernard Dugat.

Bernard’s first harvest was in 1982 but he took sole charge of his family domaine in 1992. The domaine stands at 17 ha with vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, Fixin and Marsannay, with the latter two often producing good value for money. Bouvier’s grapes come from extremely low-yielding vines which are organically cultivated, becoming certified in 2013. The range is supplemented with several wines from share-farmed en fermage vineyards. Bernard has refined his winemaking so that his Gevreys are now some of the most precise expressions of terroir that one can find, along with very fine fruit flavours and sensual tannins. As much as anything this is down to plenty of whole bunch fermentation and less extraction before and during fermentation. There's no need to force the extraction, says Bernard, a beautiful grape gives everything that it has to give! His wines are regularly very well written up in the French wine guides.

About En Primeur

Lying Abroad/En Primeur/In Bond Wines

Wines offered ‘Lying Abroad’ or ‘En Primeur’ provide a good way to secure some of the most sought after wines at opening prices. In addition we ensure it is the cheapest way to buy favourite mid-priced wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, so please ask us for our offers or check our website for latest reports. Prices are clearly marked in our sales literature and are exclusive of duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT. Shipment of claret and Port normally takes place around 30 months after the vintage, burgundy and Rhône usually more quickly. A second invoice for the duty, shipping, marine insurance and VAT on the value of the wine is charged at the time of shipment - view current duty rates. There are no further charges for deliveries to a UK mainland home or work address. Your Lying Abroad purchases are covered under The Bunch Code of Practice which can be sent on request or viewed here.
