  • Burgundy Unpicked: 2023 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé
    May 2 2025

    Despite being in the middle of the 2024 Bordeaux campaign, we're keeping people of their toes with our Burgundy releases and, therefore, another episode of our Burgundy Unpicked podcast! Today, Joe, Guy, Will and Aaran discuss Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé.

    Comte de Vogüé is the largest holder of the Musigny vineyard by some distance, owning 7.12 hectares of the total 10.85. Established in 1450, the current owners are Comtesse Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette. Commercial Director Jean-Luc Pépin has been at the domaine since 1988 and Vineyard Manager Eric Bourgogne since 1996. In spring 2021, Jean Lupatelli started as winemaker/Chef de Cave.

  • Burgundy Unpicked: 2023 Domaine Dugat-Py
    Feb 20 2025

    The Fine Wine team is back in the studio to discuss the en primeur release of 2023 Domaine Dugat-Py, one of the most revered names in Gevrey-Chambertin. The Dugat family have been growers here since the early 17th century, and their 15-hectare domaine includes four of the great grands crus of the village— Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin and Mazoyères-Chambertin.

    Representing the 13th generation of the family, Loïc Dugat employs detail-focussed viticulture and sensitive cellar management— elements that have thrust this historic domaine into a new dimension. The vineyards are certified organic and work follows the lunar cycle, using biodynamic preparations.

    We are incredibly proud to represent Domaine Dugat-Py in the UK, an estate centred on organic farming and that showcases the complexity produced by some of the oldest vines in Burgundy.
