Presentation
Located in Côte de Beaune, Domaine Dubreuil Fontaine exploits a prestigious vineyard spread over the communes of Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pommard, Beaune, and Volnay. This family estate, whose history goes back several generations, is committed to expressing the diversity of its terroirs through 22 appellations, ranging from accessible Bourgognes to exceptional Grands Crus. Viticulture is conducted according to an integrated approach, aiming to preserve the natural balance of the soils and the richness of the vineyard. Amendments are controlled, soils are regularly worked, and the harvest is done manually with meticulous sorting upon arrival at the winery. In the cellar, vinifications are adapted to each vintage, with controlled extractions and well-dosed aging in oak barrels. The reds from the estate express all the finesse and depth of Pinot Noir, while the whites offer superb minerality and beautiful aromatic complexity.
