From the start in 1832, the small yet esteemed Burgundy negotiate house--established in Nuits-Saint-Georges by Messrs. Armand Cottin obtained Laboure-Roi in 1974.
Laboure and Roi--had been firmly rooted in the local winemaking community, enjoying an excellent reputation for its high quality wines.
Under the leadership of Armand and his brother Louis who later joined him, Laboure-Roi has become what is today the third largest basis of Burgundy wines.
A key factor in the alteration and continued success of Laboure-Roi is the Cottin brothers' readiness to embrace progress, supported by their wide investment in state-of-the-art technology. The Laboure-Roi winemaking facility in Nuits-Saint-Georges is indisputably one of the finest in Burgundy. The winery, which boasts a cellaring capacity of 2,000 barrels, supplements the house's historic cellars. Dating back to the 16th century, the ancient cellars are still used today for the storing and aging select bottles.
Laboure-Roi's staff of five winemakers provides these growers with ongoing direction to ensure that each individual wine meets the house standards of quality and reproduces the unique characteristics of its own terroir. Laboure-Roi founded the idea of presenting single estate wines under each respective domain’s label.
