The Dugat family have been winegrowers in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation since the beginning of the 17th century. Bernard Dugat and his son, Loîc are the 12th and 13th generation to exploit the unique knowledge of wine-making and working in the vines, which has been acquired over four centuries.
A wealth of knowledge and know-how accumulated by thirteen generations of wine makers.
- Visual selection of the most robust vine plants of old Pinot Noirs.
- Constant work in plots of vines(parcelles) which are mostly Très Vieilles Vignes (very old vines of more than 65 years old), and the use of organic preparations which have defined the Dugat-Py style.
As winemakers following the great Burgundy tradition, we buy neither grapes nor wine from elsewhere, in order to concentrate on working with our vines, which is a guarantee of seriousnes and the highest quality.
When tasting one of our bottles after a minimum 6-8 years of ageing, you will rediscover wines which are deeply coloured, rich, full-bodied and elegant and which contributed to the prestige and reputation of Burgundy wine before the 1970's and 1980's.
