The Bovet Reserve family of wines honors matriarch Jannine MacDonnell’s family who created exceptional wine in the early 1920’s. We carry on this tradition with these incredibly special wines that combine this legacy with our family’s 40 years of winegrowing experience in the Napa Valley.
In 1921, our great-grandfather, Louis Bovet, and his wife, Grace Borel, established their own winemaking tradition, growing vines, crushing grapes and making wine at their family home. Wine, art, nature and the outdoors were passions for Louis and guided his daily life. Looking back, it’s incredible to see our family has come full circle, living the same way and driven by the same purpose: love of family, sustainable farming, and fantastic food and wine.
This icon depicts the old wooden stamp that Louis first used to brand his wine, Chateau Bovet. The mark on the front is a combination of Louis and Grace’s old family crests from their native Switzerland. The three bands on the capsule represent the three generations of family that lived on the Borel Estate and currently live at Round Pond Estate.
