Description: Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur was established on the slopes of Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1596, and is currently managed by Yvan Dufouleur and his uncle Xavier. The Dufouleur family sold the negociant arm of their business, “Dufouleur Père et Fils,” in 2006, wanting to focus exclusively on estate bottled wines. Four hundred years is a long time for any winery, and through the centuries the family has acquired a whopping 28 hectares of prime vineyard sites extending from Fixin to Santenay. This portfolio includes the exclusive ownership of Fixin "Clos du Chapitre" Premier Cru (1er Cru). Farming is natural, and cellar work is hands-off. These sensory, revelatory wines are a must for anyone interested in distinctive Burgundy.
Located at 360 meters above sea level (Grand Cru zone) with limestone and rocky soil, a mere 50 meters away from the Nuits-Saint-Georges border, Les Dames Huguette vineyard produces one of the finest Pinot Noir from Hautes Cotes de Nuits. Nicknamed "Petit Nuits" due to its complex, delicate, and fine flavor profile, the wine is in the style of classic burgundy with aromas of sour cherry and forest floor.
Food pairing: Cheese, roast chicken, grilled vegetables, salmon, lighter beef dishes, etc.
