The company is classified as Wholesale Wines, and the wines are produced at Chateau Boswell Winery in St. Helena, California. The Coombsville growing region east of Napa Valley provides much of the fruit for the wines.
The wine’s label pays homage to Bure’s great-grandfather, who was invited to be the Russian Tsar’s watchmaker. Valeri’s great grandfather’s logo inspired the label used on Bure Family Wine Bottles.
