2014 | Domaine Dugat-Py | Charmes-Chambertin

Deep ruby-red. Aromas of dark berries, bitter chocolate and licorice complicated by a strong violet character and a honeyed nuance. Plush and sweet on entry, then round, fat and seamless in the middle.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Utilizing around 40% whole bunch fruit, the 2014 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru has a comparatively rich bouquet with layers of macerated red cherry fruit mixed with blueberry, the new oak coming through in pronounced fashion. The palate is sweet on the entry with grainy tannin, red cherries and wild strawberry, as well as a touch of orange rind with a spice note towards the structured finish that is Mazoyères-like in style. Give this a decade in bottle.

• Burghound: A discreet application of wood doesn't detract from the intensely floral red berry fruit and earth-inflected aromas. There is really lovely richness and volume to the caressing medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the balanced, complex and wonderfully persistent finale. This is much more civilized at present than its Mazoyères counterpart and should be approachable after "only" a decade or so of bottle age. This too is absolutely lovely.

Producer Information

Domaine Dugat-Py is a wine producer in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy. It is best known for its red wines made from Pinot Noir in grand cru vineyards such as Charmes-Chambertin and Chambertin. It also makes a range of premier cru wines, and a grand cru Chardonnay from the Corton-Charlemagne vineyard. The domaine was created through the marriage of Bernard Dugat and Jocelyne Py in 1979, bringing together two sets of vineyards. Dugat-Py owns plots in several of the Gevrey-Chambertin grand cru vineyards, and also makes village-level and premier cru wines from plots in Vosne-Romanée, Pommard and Chassagne-Montrachet. The domaine's vines are on average 65 years old, with some vines in the grand cru plots reaching an age of 90. Domaine Dugat-Py's wines are aged for up to 24 months in oak, in cellars which date back to the 11th Century. Compared to a majority of producers in the Gevrey-Chambertin, picking of grapes commences relatively early in the season. Minimal intervention is applied in the winery with no temperature control post fermentation. Given the size and prestige of the domaine, production is small – about 300 bottles are released annually.
