Domaine Dubois et Fils in a few words

Located in Premeaux-Prissey, next to Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Dubois estate produces 20 wines under protected designation of origin on 57 acres of vines with an approximate production of 100,000 bottles a year.

The estate sells 35  % of its production in export markets. After making wine during 11 years in New Zealand, South Africa, Chile and particularly in Australia, Béatrice officially joined the estate in 2006. There she joined her brother Raphaël. But working as brother and sister is not easy ! He takes care of the vineyard and Béatrice focuses on winemaking.  They always taste their wine together but each has his/her own method.

  • Interview with Béatrice Dubois

    Your favourite quality in a woman
    Honesty and straightforwardness

    Your favourite activity
    Winemaking is what fascinates me in my job, every year is a new test, and the aromatic development, the magic of fermentation ; and the social interactions it brings. Apart from that, I enjoy bike rides, walking in the nature, around the vines...

    Your best wine-related memory
    Several nice memories are wine-related, as these are true moments of sharing with friends and family. Like an original food pairing, a riesling with a curry pasta salad. But the memory related to my roots remains my grand father discretely bringing a bottle for a blind tasting.

    Your best wine-related encounter
    All the encounters of my life. Encounters with "great wine professionals", like mentors to me, and all the people with whom I shared little moments of simple happiness, conversing around glasses of wine.

    Why is wine a fascinating product ?
    Wine is like a human being, we, winegrowers or winemakers, are like midwives during winemaking, we attend the "wine bearing", then we bring up the wine during maturing. And what a great moment when we taste a wine ! We get closer to smell it, "sniffing for" the different aromas, aromas of summer berries, almonds, gun flint, flowers, roastyness… And then when you delicately bring it to your mouth where the flavours unveil, explode, or on the contrary when the wine is first shy and then very expressive. Tasting is an agreeable moment to share with friends and family.

    Your favourite wine/wine producing area
    All the wines are like our children. So it is difficult to have preferences as each of them has its own personality.

    Your motto or your favourite quote
    Be passionate and enjoy life...
