Domaine Loubet-Dewailly brings five generations of Côte de Beaune winegrowing to a guided comparison of two named climats. Estate winemakers present Puligny-Montrachet Les Champs Gains beside Meursault Clos Saint Philibert, using several vintages to examine how site and cellar work shape a single grape variety. The vertical format encourages close attention to differences between the two appellations without separating them from the domaine’s broader range. Tastings take place in the producer’s cellar in Beaune’s historic centre, between the Hospices and the Collégiale Notre-Dame.
