It is run by Yvan Dufouleur, Guy's eldest son, with his uncle Xavier Dufouleur as co-manager. In 2006 the family sold its merchant business to concentrate on the wines of its own vineyards. The appellations run from the village of Fixin, at the northern end of the Côte de Nuits, to Santenay, at the southern end of the Côte de Beaune, by way of the Hautes-Côtes. They include the Corton grand cru Renardes, the Fixin premier cru Clos du Chapitre and Nuits-Saint-Georges premiers crus such as Clos des Perrières, Les Poulettes and Les Crots. The wines age for 12 to 15 months in oak, with 15 to 25 per cent new barrels depending on the vintage and the appellation. ## What you will see The tasting cellar lies on rue Thurot, beside the wine road through the town. You can taste across the range, from the Bourgogne Aligoté and the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits to village Nuits-Saint-Georges from several climats, the premiers crus and the Corton grand cru, and buy the wines on the spot. The domaine also publishes a detailed technical sheet for each of its wines. ## Planning your visit The cellar is open from Monday to Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday mornings from April to September. Exact hours are not published, so phone before you go. The domaine is in the town centre, a few minutes' walk from the belfry and the shops of Nuits-Saint-Georges. ## Did you know? The Fixin premier cru Clos du Chapitre is a monopole: the whole vineyard belongs to the domaine. ## Around Domaine Guy et Yvan Dufouleur What to combine with Domaine Guy et Yvan Dufouleur on the same day, nearest first. ### Villages - [Nuits-Saint-Georges](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/nuits-saint-georges) (1 km away): The wine town that names the Côte de Nuits, with 41 premiers crus and a lively old centre. - [Vosne-Romanée](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/vosne-romanee) (3 km away): Six grands crus, including Romanée-Conti and La Tâche, in the village called the pearl of the Côte. - [Premeaux-Prissey](https://www.cote-privee.com/villages/premeaux-prissey) (3 km away): Two old villages joined in 1972, with walled premier cru clos and wines sold as Nuits-Saint-Georges. ### Châteaux - [Maison forte d’Agencourt](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/maison-forte-d-agencourt) (2 km away): A moated fortified house east of Nuits, rebuilt around 1650 and now a rural school. - [Château de la Berchère](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-la-berchere) (2 km away): A moated château between Nuits-Saint-Georges and the Saône plain, now a hotel. - [Château de Prémeaux](https://www.cote-privee.com/chateaux/chateau-de-premeaux) (3 km away): A family wine estate in Premeaux, rebuilt with the stones of a vanished castle. ### Things to do - [Nuits-Saint-Georges Belfry (Beffroi de Nuits-Saint-Georges)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/beffroi-de-nuits-saint-georges), 1 km away: The 17th-century belfry that has watched over the main square of Nuits-Saint-Georges for four centuries. - [Nuits-Saint-Georges Museum (Musée de Nuits-Saint-Georges)](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/musee-de-nuits-saint-georges), 1 km away: Gallo-Roman and Merovingian finds displayed in the vaulted cellars of a former wine house. - [Caveau Moillard](https://www.cote-privee.com/things-to-do/caveau-moillard-nuits-saint-georges) (1 km away): The Nuits-Saint-Georges tasting cellar of the Moillard wine house, the Caveau des Mosaïques. ### Restaurants - [Le Charlemagne](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/le-charlemagne-pernand-vergelesses) (10 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): Burgundy with a Japanese accent, facing the hill of Corton-Charlemagne - [La Table d’Hôte, La Rôtisserie du Chambertin](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/la-table-d-hote-rotisserie-du-chambertin-gevrey) (10 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A starred tasting table in an eighteenth-century house in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin - [Clos du Cèdre](https://www.cote-privee.com/restaurants/clos-du-cedre-beaune) (15 km away · 1 MICHELIN star): A winemaker's mansion by Beaune's ramparts, with a starred kitchen and a cellar of over 1,000 wines ### Events - **Saturday 17 – Sunday 18 October 2026 (Confirmed by the organiser)** · [Fête du Vin Bourru](https://www.cote-privee.com/events/fete-du-vin-bourru-nuits-saint-georges): Nuits-Saint-Georges toasts the new vintage with cloudy, still-fermenting bourru.
