Maison Pierre André
Maison Pierre André is a Burgundian wine merchant house founded in 1923 and historically associated with Château d'Aloxe-Corton, nicknamed the "Château jaune". Now integrated into Les Grands Chais de France and operated within the Maison François Martenot portfolio, it markets a wide range of Burgundian appellations, from regional wines to grands crus. Baptiste Corrot is its lead oenologist.

Histoire du domaine
Pierre André, a veteran, founded his wine merchant company in Paris in 1923. In 1927, he acquired Château d'Aloxe-Corton, recognizable by its glazed tile roof, and established it as the iconic headquarters of his Burgundian house. He then developed his sales to the restaurant industry and in 1938 purchased a Parisian establishment to showcase his wines. Upon his death in 1972, his winegrowing and commercial activities passed to his son-in-law Gabriel Liogier. The latter sold them in 2002 to the Ballande group. The house and its brands were taken over by Béjot Vins & Terroirs in 2014, while the château and its vineyard were subsequently acquired separately by the Frey family. In 2016, the buyout of Béjot by Les Grands Chais de France brought the Pierre André brand into the portfolio of the Helfrich family group. It is now presented by Maison François Martenot as a merchant house committed to the appellations of Burgundy. No vineyard area or annual production specific solely to the Pierre André brand is published in a sufficiently verifiable manner.
Clos de Vougeot
The Clos de Vougeot is a vast, single-piece vineyard enclosure, surrounded by walls and located at the foot of the Côte de Nuits slope, in the commune of Vougeot. Its terroir varies markedly from top to bottom: thin, gravelly soils on Bajocian limestone in the upper part, more clayey brown soils on limestone debris in the middle, and deeper, clayey and silty soils on a marly layer in the lower part. The site simultaneously constitutes a physically demarcated Burgundian climat and the emblematic parcel area of the AOC Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot or Clos Vougeot.

Histoire de la parcelle
The wine estate was gradually established by the Cistercian abbey of Cîteaux starting from the early 12th century; a medieval agreement set boundaries that have remained almost unchanged, and the wall was built before the end of that century. The farm buildings were developed from the 12th to the 15th century, then complemented in 1551 by the Renaissance residence that became the château du Clos de Vougeot. The abbey kept the estate until the Revolution; the buildings and vineyards were confiscated and then sold as national property in 1791, subsequently leading to the fragmentation of the property. The appellation d'origine contrôlée Clos de Vougeot or Clos Vougeot was recognized by decree on July 31, 1937.
