The vineyard covers 15 hectares, spread across the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, with a strong emphasis on old vines.

Histoire du domaine
The Dugat family’s winemaking heritage in Gevrey-Chambertin dates back to the 17th century. The Dugat estate was established in 1923 following the marriage of Fernand Dugat and Jeanne Bolnot, who also came from a family of local winegrowers. Pierre Dugat, son of Fernand and Jeanne, subsequently passed the vineyards on to his son Bernard, who produced his first vintage in 1975. Bernard Dugat married Jocelyne Py in 1979. After a period during which a significant proportion of the production was sold in bulk to wine merchants, the wines were bottled at the estate under the name Pierre Dugat from 1989 onwards. In 1994, Bernard adopted the name Dugat-Py for the estate, incorporating his wife’s surname. Their son Loïc joined the business in 1996 and produced his first vintage on his own in 2005. The vineyard expanded between 1995 and 2005 through purchases, leasehold arrangements and sharecropping, particularly in the Côte de Beaune. Trials in organic viticulture began in 1999; the estate has been fully certified organic since 2015. Loïc Dugat-Py is now the owner and is directly responsible for winemaking.
Charmes-Chambertin (Gevrey Chambertin)
Charmes-Chambertin is a red Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated terroir within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, comprising the lieux-dits Aux Charmes and Mazoyères. The vineyard occupies a slight piedmont bench, between 260 and 280 meters in altitude, at the mouth of the Combe Grisard. Its shallow, carbonated and well-draining soils combine limestone gravel, clays and red silts; the parcels of Aux Charmes face mostly east to east-northeast, while Mazoyères is oriented more towards the south. The demarcated area of Mazoyères-Chambertin coincides with that of Charmes-Chambertin, the latter name being commonly claimed.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climats Aux Charmes and Mazoyères is attested as early as the 18th century. In 1855, Jules Lavalle classified them partly as first cuvée and partly as second cuvée. A 1931 ruling by the Dijon court sanctioned the addition of the name Chambertin and established the boundaries of the appellation d'origine; the AOC Charmes-Chambertin was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937. The parcel area currently specified in the product specification cahier des charges was approved by the INAO on May 17 and 18, 1984.
