Domaine Dugat-Py
"It pays to remember that the Dugat-Py wines are built for the very long haul..."
- Allen Meadows, Burghound
The Dugat family have been winegrowers in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation since the beginning of the 17th century. Bernard Dugat and his son, Loîc are the 12th and 13th generation to exploit the unique knowledge of wine-making and working in the vines, which has been acquired over four centuries.
Tasting Notes
- WA98–99
- From 65-year-old vines whose 100 cases worth of fruit Dugat didn’t de-stem, the 2005 Mazis-Chambertin displays even more intensity, yet also elegance than the Charmes. Aromas of black cherry, purple plum, sassafras, vanilla, and violets usher in a palate of sumptuous richness, intense sweet purity of black fruits with a caramel edge, and layers of raw and roasted meat and chalky, stony minerality. This offers incredible lift and refinement for a wine of such ripeness and sheer density and the finish seems to defy gravity. Range: 98-99 points
- V93–97
- Deep ruby-red. Knockout nose offers blackberry, violet, minerals and smoked meat; combines an almost liqueur-like ripeness with high notes of eucalyptus and menthol. Extremely suave and silky in the mouth, with a fine-grained texture and terrific energy and harmony. At once thick and bright, with powerful extract and superb structure. Perhaps most impressive today on the back half, which features building, palate-staining flavor and a real aromatic whiplash on the end. Tannins are thoroughly buffered by the wine's fruit. Range: 93-97
