Maison Lou Dumont-Domaine Koji et Jae Hwa - Bourgogne Rouge 2022

Maison Lou Dumont - Domaine Koji et Jan Hwa was founded in 2000 by Koji Nakada, a Japanese sommelier turned winemaker, with a deep reverence for the wines and traditions of Burgundy. Together with his wife Jae Hwa, Koji created a domaine rooted in purity, humility, and respect for nature. The winery is based in Gevrey-Chambertin and produces wines from prestigious appellations across Burgundy, from Chablis to the Côte de Nuits.

Lou Dumont works with a combination of estate-owned vineyards and carefully selected grower plots. The winemaking philosophy embraces minimal intervention, native yeast fermentations, and aging in carefully selected oak barrels from small French coopers. All wines are vinified with precision and a clear goal: to express the terroir with elegance and authenticity. In honor of his Japanese heritage, Koji places a Buddhist kanji character for "dream" (夢) on every label. 

Bourgogne Rouge 
A classic expression of Pinot Noir from regional Burgundy vineyards. Aromas of red cherry, cranberry, and subtle earthiness. The palate is smooth and balanced with gentle tannins, fresh acidity, and a hint of spice. A versatile and approachable red that reflects Koji’s elegant, terroir-driven style. Bourgogne Rouge is a pure Pinot Noir from organically farmed vines over 30 years old. Fermented with indigenous yeasts at low temperatures, it is aged for 17 months in French oak (30% new) and finished with 1 month in stainless steel. Bottled unfiltered with minimal sulfur, the wine shows a brilliant ruby color and expressive notes of red berries and florals. On the palate, it is precise and structured, with fine tannins and excellent aging potential.
