2004 Domaine Dugat-Py Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 96
(racked; Dugat crushed the whole clusters by foot, then did the fermentation in a tiny wood cuve Full ruby-red. Knockout nose offers black raspberry, minerals, coffee, flowers, leather and game. Thick and minerally, with a distinctly primary, almost grapey, character. This boasts wonderfully silky texture and outstanding persistence, with the tannins buried in fruit.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2006Burghound | Rating: 97
Extract of cassis, earth, game and a certain animale character plus the same intense floral character of the Mazis introduces incredibly powerful, deep, broad, muscular and robust flavors that are vigorously structured, culminating in a chewy, long, explosive, texture, mouth coating and almost implausibly complex finish. This is a stunning wine, combining impressive power, depth and incredible length into a harmonious whole. A great, great Chambertin and one of the wines of the vintage that will age gracefully for two decades and probably more.Author: Allen MeadowsIssue: 1st Quarter, 2006
Domaine Dugat-Py is a small family-operated winery in Gevrey-Chambertin that produces a dozen wines ranging from regional to grand cru status. In former days, the Dugat family sold their wines in bulk to local negociants, which currently limits their representation of older vintages. Today, Bernard and Jocelyne Dugat manage the property and have bottled estate fruit since 1989. The domaine's 7.26 hectares of vines are old and produce naturally low yields. There is very little intervention during the vinification process and the wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Dugat-Py ages its wine in a lofty vaulted cellar, originally built by monks, that dates back to 1075. The wines display a concentrated, lush, old-vine flavor that reflects the quality of such a high class estate.
