i. Biography
Talloulah Dubourg is a winemaker and co-founder of Domaine de Cassiopée in Sampigny-lès-Maranges, France. The work sits in the slow, exacting rhythms of Burgundy viticulture, where patience, precision, and close reading of place define the trade.
The Climb
Burgundy is where the craft was built. At Jean-Marc Roulot, then Frédéric Mugnier, Clos de Tart, and Benjamin Leroux, Dubourg moved through cellars that prize discipline and consistency over noise. Each stop sharpened the habits that matter in wine: attention to parcel, trust in process, and the ability to work to a standard that is measured season after season. Since 2020, those years of training have been carried into Domaine de Cassiopée, where she became co-founder and winemaker.
Today
Domaine de Cassiopée in Sampigny-lès-Maranges, France is the base of Dubourg’s work as co-founder and winemaker. The style is firmly Burgundy: grounded, deliberate, and tied to a practical relationship with site and cellar. The role asks for both daily oversight and a wider sense of direction, drawing on the training she accumulated across the region’s vineyards and cellars.

The names alone evoke a sense of place and continuity, each cuvée anchored in the vocabulary of Burgundy and the patient craft that underpins her work.
Recognition
The defining career milestone is her role as co-founder and winemaker at Domaine de Cassiopée.

For Dubourg, recognition is not separated from practice; it is embedded in the seriousness of the role itself, and in the clarity of having built something of her own in Sampigny-lès-Maranges.
