About Winery
Domaine Lamy-Caillat was established in 2011, when Florence Lamy (daughter of René Lamy of Domaine Lamy-Pillot) and her husband Sébastien Caillat took over vineyards from an elderly neighbor in Chassagne-Montrachet. Starting with just 1.2 hectares of premier cru parcels, they envisioned a micro-domaine dedicated to artisanal winemaking, distinct from the larger-scale production of Lamy-Pillot. Sébastien, who had long been passionate about viticulture, brought meticulous attention to every stage of production—from vineyard care to bottling—emphasizing minimal intervention and precision. The domaine quickly gained recognition for its pure, terroir-expressive wines, crafted in tiny quantities. Today, Lamy-Caillat remains a “secret garden” of Burgundy, admired by collectors and connoisseurs for its uncompromising quality and authentic reflection of Chassagne-Montrachet’s limestone-rich soils.

About Winery
Maison M. Chapoutier is one of the most historic and influential wineries in France’s Rhône Valley, based in Tain-l’Hermitage. The family’s roots in the region trace back to 1808, when the company was first established under the name Calvet et Compagnie. In 1879, Polydor Chapoutier purchased vineyards in Hermitage, marking the true beginning of the Chapoutier wine legacy. By the late 19th century, Marius Chapoutier expanded the business, and in the 20th century, leadership passed through successive generations, including Max Chapoutier. The most transformative era began in the 1990s under Michel Chapoutier, who introduced biodynamic viticulture, a philosophy emphasizing harmony between soil, plants, and environment. Michel also made Chapoutier’s wines globally recognizable by adding Braille labels in 1996, honoring inclusivity. Today, Chapoutier is celebrated for producing some of the Rhône’s most iconic wines, particularly from Hermitage, Côte-Rôtie, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape, while remaining a pioneer in biodynamic winemaking.

Olivier Bernstein, originally from a family with a classical music background, entered the wine world after studying viticulture and enology in Beaune. His first venture was in 2002 in Roussillon, where he purchased 8 hectares of vines, but Burgundy remained his true passion. Inspired by a brief period working with the legendary Henri Jayer, Bernstein founded his own micro-négociant domaine in Burgundy in 2007, focusing exclusively on sourcing grapes from top Premier and Grand Cru vineyards such as Chambertin, Clos de Bèze, and Mazis-Chambertin. From the outset, his wines impressed critics for their precision, elegance, and terroir expression, establishing him as one of the most exciting new-generation producers in the region. Today, Domaine Olivier Bernstein produces extremely limited quantities of Pinot Noir, often in rare formats like magnums and jeroboams, which have achieved record auction prices, cementing his reputation as a leading figure in contemporary Burgundy winemaking.
