Pierre André

The history of Maison Pierre André began in 1923. A few years later, in 1927, the founder acquired a château in Aloxe-Corton, officially beginning the production of wines that express the great terroirs and grape varieties that symbolise Burgundy, namely Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pierre André wines are produced in one of the most celebrated areas in the world: Burgundy, a mosaic of vineyards stretching along hillsides and valleys with a continental climate, where different exposures and unique soils – mainly composed of marl rich in limestone and clay – play a crucial role. Here, the concept of Climat, or a small, well-defined plot of vineyard, is literally sacred. For the rest, the attention to detail is simply obsessive: from the care taken with the old vines, which guarantee more concentrated and complex grapes, to the winemaking techniques, which, while remaining traditional, make use of modern equipment to ensure maximum purity.
