Jacques Seysses has made an exceptional achievement by taking only about half a century to turn Domaine Dujac into one of the most outstanding domaines in Burgundy. He set up Domaine Dujac in 1967 when he purchased a small domaine in Morey-St-Denis, which has since expanded beyond Morey Saint-Denis, and now include parcels in Echezeaux, Bonnes Mares, Chambertin, Romanee-St-Vivant, Vosne Romanee, Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis, Puligny-Montrachet, and more. The Domaine was a pioneer to include stems during fermentation, and most of their vineyards are farmed using organic practices. Till this day, the Domaine is still managed by the Seysses family and currently...

For the first offer on Valentine's Day, I have prepared a winemaker which touches my soul - Sylvain Cathiard.  Sylvain Cathiard was established in the 1930s under the name "Cathiard-Molenier" by Sylvain Cathiard's grandfather who had worked with Domaine de la Romanee Conti and Lamarche and had bought some vineyards in Burgundy. It wasn't until 1995 that the domaine was rebranded to "Sylvain Cathiard" after Sylvain had worked 15 years on the domaine and was given ownership when his father retired. Now, Sylvain's son Sebastien is in charge (since the 2011 vintage) after shadowing Sylvain's work from the late 2000s. The Domaine has always...

In Vosne-Romanee, there is a 0.30ha parcel of Les Gaudichots 1er Cru which borders the world-famous La Tache Grand Cru. Due to its exceptional terroir being in close proximity to La Tache and its much lower price point, Les Gaudichots has gained a lot of attention in recent years. The vineyard's history is rather complicated having many owners over the years which each have fought to get ownership of the neighbouring La Tache, and in 1932, a compromise was found and some of the original Gaudichots vineyards was annexed to La Tache. Therefore, there are only three small sections of Les...

Founded in 1858, Domaine Robert Arnoux is a family-run estate and currently owns 14.5 hectares of some of the most prized vineyards in Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges, and apart from a small plot of Aligote, all wines are red. They built a reputation for themselves when Pascal Lachaux became fully in charge of the winemaking back in 1990 and subsequently took over the domaine when his father-in-law Robert Arnoux passed away in 1995. The Domaine was then renamed to "Arnoux-Lachaux" in 2008; and passed down to the family's sixth generation, Charles Lachaux, in 2012.Charles Lachaux is a rising star in Burgundy. He was a disciple of Lalou Bize-Leroy (of Domaine...

Unlike many winemakers who have a family history in winemaking, Frederic Cossard's family was in the dairy industry. He was destined to take on his father's dairy company but his passion for wine led him to purchase his own domaine in 1996 after working a decade in the wine trade business, and start producing his own wine. A natural wine genius, with approximately 10 hectares of vines across several appellations, Frederic has been creating inspiring work in Burgundy ever since. He has worked organically from the outset - using natural measures without any sulfur dioxide and natural fermentation with long maceration, and has produced...
