The Pinot Noir vines are often found a stone’s throw from more prestigious appellations. The Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py Bourgogne Halinard Rouge is made from a blend of grapes from parcels that were planted between the 1940s and 1990s around the Gevrey-Chambertin commune. The domaine has a minimal interventionist approach to winemaking to allows for a distinct terroir and vintage expression.
