About
the Producer: Pierre
Olivier was the eldest son of a family whose vineyards had long
been established in Burgundy. Early in his career, he became
the cellar master for an important negociant in Burgundy.
During this time, Pierre began to collect his own stock of premier
Crus and unique village wines. These wines were
hidden during and survived World War II. At the conclusion
of the war, Pierre began to sell these wines to customers and further
established his reputation as having an excellent nose and palate
for the selection of outstanding wines. This tradition, as
reflected by the worldwide recognition these wines routinely receive,
the passion for viticulture and winemaking continues undiminished
in the current generation.
