The Champagne House of Bourdaire-Gallois

The Grandfather of David Bourdaire-Gallois, Monsieur Bourdaire, began this Family owned Champagne business in 1954, growing the Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay vines and using the local Co-Operative as a means to press the resulting Grapes.

In 1973 he gave his Son and Daughter (Davids Mother) half a hectare each, allowing them to start in the business. His Daughter later married Daniel Bourdaire (Davids Father) to create the Bourdaire-Massannot Champagne House.

Following in the family tradition, David was also given some Vineyards by his parents and he and his wife have created the Bourdaire-Gallois label. David and his parents own 7.73 hectares of Vineyards between themselves and sell 65,000 bottles of Champagne each year.

2002 was a momentous year for the family, as they invested in their own Grape Pressing facility, the harvest of 2002 will be the first for time the family have not been part of the local Co-Operative and they will now complete the entire Champagne process on their own property.

Exciting times are ahead for the House of Bourdaire-Gallois!
