About Peter Wasserman Peter is the son of Becky Wasserman Hone, founder of Selection Becky Wasserman.  As the company’s global wine consultant, Peter is based between Burgundy, where the company is headquartered, and New York City.  A globe-trotting polyglot, Wasserman’s enviable elevage occurred amidst the Burgundian vines.  Wasserman’s American mother Becky elected to launch her own wine business in 1979, thus becoming one of the first women to start a wine brokerage.  READ MORE about Peter Wasserman.

About Domaine Nicolas Rossignol Nicolas Rossignol is a 5th generation winemaker in the vineyards of Volnay with an impressive résumé, including Domaine Joseph Voillot in Volnay and Domaine du Vieux Télégraph in Châteauneuf du Pape. Establishing his own estate in 1997, Rossignol’s vineyard holdings include Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, Corton and Savigny-les-Beaune.  Domaine Nicolas Rossignol practices sustainable farming and focuses on balance and respect for the land, combined with careful winemaking techniques. These dedicated practices result in premium quality, lending to great power and complexity in the finished wines.

About Domaine Dublère An American transplant, Blair Pethel fell in love with the richness and depth of Burgundian soils, the genuine nature of the people and of course, the wines. Finally relocating permanently in 2003, Blair began making wine in 2004 and has succeeded in establishing a truly extraordinary wine estate in the Côte de Beaune! Crafting small production wines that reflect their terroir, Domaine Dublère farms its vineyards with the utmost respect for the soil and the vine itself, using organic compost, sustainable winegrowing methods, and meticulous hands-on viticulture practices.  The finished wines exemplify the passion and love for the land that went into their production.
