Victor Blachet is distinguished wine house that draws its heritage from the noble history of the Dukes of Bourgogne. Its wonderful vineyard extends from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise through the Côte de Beaune.
Since the 14th century, the Dukes of Bourgogne who owned many vineyards enjoyed a major economic and political prosperity.
Bourgogne wines then became a mark of power as well as a symbol of taste and refinement. The wine house Victor Blachet has inherited from this period and is deeply concern about maintaining and promoting the reputation of Bourgogne wines all over the world.
The Bourgogne vineyard is one of the oldest and most prestigious in France. It was shaped in the Middle Ages by monks, and then by the Dukes of Bourgogne. It is the land of Pinot noir and Chardonnay, which are the pride and identity of the whole territory.
Bourgogne is also the expression of the notion of terroirs. They are extremely varied and they are at the origin of the great richness of Bourgogne wines. This wonderful heritage is the fruit of more than 2 000 years of history, that is why the Victor Blachet wine house is very committed to preserve it.
Victor Blachet is an open-minded character who is interested in the conquest of science. In the Age of Enlightenment, Bourgogne wines were the subject of fascinating books that interested the scientific community.
Understanding what makes Bourgogne wine a wine of excellence compared to others is a constant search. Is it the grape varieties, the soil, the subsoil, the climate, or the know-how of the winemakers that contribute to its quality? Today we tend to think that it is a whole and that our beautiful wines are the result of a subtle balance.
Victor Blachet aspires to convey its eminent wines beyond the borders of France: It is the conquest of Bourgogne wines.
