Histoire du domaine
The family history dates back to 1782, when Claude Rebourseau, son of the winegrower Jacques Rebourseau, settled in La Roche-Vanneau. Born in 1839, Jean-Baptiste Rebourseau married Louise-Victoire Philippon in Gevrey in 1861. He then consolidated several plots, notably some Gevrey-Chambertin grands crus, which have remained in the family estate. The estate was subsequently passed on to his sons Émile and Henri. During the First World War, Émile Rebourseau looked after the estate whilst Henri was called up. On his return to Gevrey in 1919, General Henri Rebourseau took up residence at the Maison de la Brunelle and, in 1929, founded the Syndicat de défense du Chambertin, which he chaired for many years. In 1949, he passed the estate on to his son Pierre Rebourseau, who entrusted its management to his grandson Jean de Surrel in 1980. Jean de Surrel then began a transition towards sustainable, and subsequently organic, viticulture. In December 2018, the Bouygues family acquired a majority stake in the estate alongside the de Surrel family. Bastien Giraud took over the operational and technical management of the estate in 2023.
Mazis-Chambertin
Mazis-Chambertin is a Grand Cru appellation corresponding to a physically demarcated terroir in Gevrey-Chambertin, comprising the lieux-dits Les Mazis-Hauts and Les Mazis-Bas. Located on the foothills on a slight plateau facing east, it extends Clos de Bèze to the north and features a slightly concave topography. Its superficial, carbonate, clayey soils rich in iron oxides overlie a Jurassic marl-limestone substrate ensuring efficient drainage and regulated water supply.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climat is attested in the 18th century: Abbot Courtépée cited the "Mazy" among the renowned climats in 1774. In 1855, Doctor Lavalle distinguished the upper part as "1ère cuvée" and the lower part as "2ème cuvée". A judgment by the Dijon tribunal in 1931 recognized the Mazis-Chambertin appellation of origin and established its boundaries; the AOC was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937.
