Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine Père et Fils — one of our flagship Burgundy producers — was established in 1879; five generations later, it is managed by Christine Gruère-Dubreuil, and her husband, Nicolas Gruère, along with their daughter, Clementine, who has officially joined her mother in the vineyards and cellar. Superb winemaking tradition and an intense love of their land has enabled the estate to rise to epic status, using the family motto, “Pleasure and passion carry on…” as a guideline for success. This family has spent nearly a century and a half chasing perfection, and that fact is beautifully evident in each new vintage from this unforgettable estate.

The Dubreuil-Fontaine Volnay is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes that are 45 years old. The grapes are hand harvested and 100% destemmed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging for 12-15 months in steel tanks and oak barrels, 15% of which are new. The wine pours a brilliant ruby and emits bright, focused aromas of cherries, red currants. On the palate, the wine has silky, velvety tannins and an effortless drinkability supported by fresh acidity. The finish is long and concentrated while displaying the grace Volnay is known for. Perfect for herb-rubbed and stuffed pork tenderloin.
