Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir “Notre-Dame de Bonne Espérance” 750ml
This is exactly what high-value Côte de Beaune Burgundy should be—pure, transparent, and quietly complex. The 2022 “Notre-Dame de Bonne Espérance” delivers bright red fruit, fine structure, and mineral lift, punching above its appellation. A serious Bourgogne Rouge with real pedigree and consistency.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine in Pernand-Vergelesses, a historic Côte de Beaune estate dating back to 1879, this cuvée reflects the domaine’s focus on purity, transparency, and site expression.
The wine is sourced from multiple parcels across Pommard, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and Ladoix-Serrigny, with a significant portion coming from the vineyard “La Chapelle Notre Dame,” which gives the wine its name.
Key production details:
- 100% Pinot Noir
- Vines averaging ~30 years
- Hand-harvested and fully destemmed
- ~15 days fermentation with gentle extraction
- Aged ~10 months: ⅓ neutral oak, ⅔ stainless steel
- Bottled unfiltered
The approach is deliberately restrained:
👉 Minimal oak influence, maximum fruit clarity and terroir expression
Critics Reviews
Burghound (Allen Meadows) – While the 2022 note is behind subscription, Dubreuil-Fontaine’s Bourgogne Rouge bottlings are consistently reviewed as “outstanding for level”, with emphasis on clarity, freshness, and value (historical Burghound positioning for the cuvée and domaine).
Burgundy Report (Bill Nanson) – Prior vintage context (2021):
“Broad, sweeping, vibrant… very long for its level”
This aligns with the domaine’s reputation for producing top-tier Bourgogne Rouge that drinks above classification.
