There are many appellations within the greater Commune of Gevrey Chambertin, only the most superior are worthy of the moniker Grand Cru. They all converge in the lower southeast of the town, planted to a gently sloped Shangrila of highly felicitious pebbly clay, alluvial soils, strewn with the shell remains of ancient sea life.

Dugat-Py treat their precious vines to old world farming techniques which have remained unchanged for centuries.
