Domaine Dugat-Py
The Dugat-Py estate is a family-run business based in Gevrey-Chambertin, at the foot of the Combe de Lavaux, in the Côte de Nuits. Stemming from a lineage of winegrowers who have been in the village since the 17th century, it is now run by Loïc Dugat-Py, the thirteenth generation of the family. 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.
Mazoyères-Chambertin
Mazoyères-Chambertin is a red Grand Cru appellation of Gevrey-Chambertin corresponding to a physically demarcated terroir on the foothills of the Côte de Nuits. Its area covers plots located in the lieux-dits "Aux Charmes" and "Mazoyères" and coincides with that of Charmes-Chambertin, a name usually claimed. The vineyard occupies a slight plateau between 260 and 280 meters, exposed to the rising sun and characterized by gentle slopes. The soils, shallow and well-draining, rest on a complex geology combining Bajocian limestones, tertiary formations, and calcareous clay-gravel materials.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climats "Aux Charmes" and "Mazoyères", neighbors of Chambertin, is attested as early as the 18th century. Jules Lavalle classified them in 1855, partly as first cuvée and partly as second cuvée. A judgment by the tribunal of Dijon in 1931 recognized the appellation of origin for wines from Mazoyères, set their boundaries, and authorized the addition of the name "Chambertin". The AOC Mazoyères-Chambertin was officially recognized by the decree of July 31, 1937.
