Bercut-Vandervoort began as a share dream. The Company was founded in 1946 as a partnership between Pierre Bercut (1884-1972), a San Francisco businessman and Henry J. Van Der Voort, born in 1915 at Chateau Bellegrave in the Pauillac region. The Company, with aim at bringing to America the best French wines, thrived steadily in the major U.S. markets for several decades. Then, in 1995, Hugues de Vernou decided to add a wholesale wine division to his prosperous "Village Imports" Company, importers of fine foods. This wine division became the exclusive California distributor for the wines of Bercut-Vandervoort & Co. and in 1997, Hugues de Vernou purchased the Company from the Vandervoort family, bringing youth and new vigor to this venerable Company in every category. |

 A personal note
From inception in 1946, Bercut-Vandervoort has made ceaseless efforts to provide wines of the highest quality within their price range. Tradition, quality, exclusivity and continuity in the efforts are the foundations of this Company, and since 1997, it has been my commitment to continue with the same sense of purpose and dedication which has been the hallmark of the organization for 61 years. With these principles in mind, we plan to pursue perfection with each new vintage. We demand excellence in every category and we secure exclusive wines of outstanding values. The result is a complete line of quality wines that will justify your confidence and that you will be proud to offer to your customers. Hugues de Vernou President |
