Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine is a domaine with a long history, starting in 1879, managed by a single family, carefully passed from generation to generation. The current owner is Clémentine Gruère-Dubreuil.

The domaine is 20 hectares and is located in Pernand-Vergelesses, the scenic place where Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune meet.

The top three wines of the domaine are Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru, Corton En Charlemagne Grand Cru, and Corton Les Bressandes Grand Cru.

The Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2012 scored 93 - 95, Corton En Charlemagne Grand Cru 2013 scored 93, and Corton Les Bressandes Grand Cru 2012 scored 92 - 94 by the Wine Advocate.

Speaking about The Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2012, Robert Parker said: “It has a more feminine, slightly more rounded bouquet compared to the Bressandes at the moment, the fruit leaning a little more to the red. The palate is very well balanced with a firm backbone. There is plenty of spice tinged black and red fruit with a generous sprinkle of white pepper over the long, tender finish. Excellent.”

The style of the wines is balanced, rarely spicy with a bit of flower and berry aroma.

Located in Pernand-Vergelesses Côte d'Or, domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine is run by Clémentine Gruère-Dubreuil since 2019. Before Clémentine Gruère-Dubreuil took over the family business, it was managed by her grandfather, Pierre Dubreuil-Fontaine.

The roots of domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine go back to 1879. Founded by Pierre Arbinet, and later on, passed to his in-laws. The fifth generation of winemakers keeps working on 20 various appellations, spread on 20 hectares.

Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine practices manual harvesting. All the fruit are carefully hand-picked and then manually sorted.

White grapes are mostly grown on clay-limestone, partly on white marl soil. The bigger area for reds is also located on clay-limestone soils with some red clay and marl soil zones.

In wine-making, only the temperature is regulated in order to preserve the fruit and respect our vines and our land.

The wines are aged in oak barrels with a different proportion of new oak depending on the level of the appellation, usually between 15 and 35 percent then after a period of 12 to 18 months, bottled in the cellars of the domaine. The best of modernity and respect of tradition permits a full expression of the Burgundian terroir.
