Domaine de Cassiopée

Burgundy Wine Evolves With New Makers

"Run by Talloulah Dubourg and Hugo Mathurin since 2020 on about 12 acres in Maranges, this small domaine combines biodynamic practice (they even work with the moon) and low-intervention winemaking from a tiny basement cellar. Their black Labrador, Ratapoil, famously answers the village church bell with an operatic ululation, a charming if slightly eerie signature of visits here. The couple bought the property from a Dane who hadn’t listed it widely, and their project is as much about building a family and a future — their chosen name nods to the constellation Cassiopeia and to a daughter they hope to have — as it is about making lovely, expressive wines." - Ray Isle
