Domaine de Cassiopee Description

Hugo Mathurin and Talloulah Dubourg, this is their inaugural vintage from their estate, Domaine de Cassiopée.

Following their training experiences with growers, Jean-Marc Roulot and Benjamin Leroux, we were eager to see what this young couple would do when the time came to make their own wine. Their objective was clear: find a place cold enough, that could, amidst the growing challenge of climate change, produce the fresh, light-footed wines they liked to drink.

They found that home in Sampigny-les-Maranges - in the extreme south of the Cote de Beaune with its cooler climate and varied landscapes. After jumping on an opportunity to take over a 5 hectare estate that included a house and eight different plots scattered throughout hillside vineyards and flanked by wild forestland, Domaine Cassiopée was born in early 2020.

They are investing in Maranges, by getting right to work in the vineyards, which has been slow compared to other appellations in converting to a more organic approach to farming. The wines are pure and energetic, much like the young couple who are eager to redefine the Maranges appellation through their commitment to understanding the singular identity of each of their plots reflected by their release of eight individual cuvées. their site-specific cuvées. These are the new faces of the next generation in Burgundy and we couldn’t be more excited to be along for the ride with them.
