Gevrey-Chambertin Dugat-Py Vieilles Vignes 1998

The wine

This Gevrey has a deep rubis colour and intense aromas of blackcurrants and other small red and dark fruits with gamey undertones, and often liquorice once the wine has matured. As it is often the case for the Village appellations., this wine combines both concentration and delicacy of Pinot Noir. To be tasted after 5 to 15 years of ageing.

About the Producer Dugat-Py

A true genius when it comes to vinification, Bernard Dugat acquired his first parcel in 1973, when he was only 15! Gradually, the domain grew through successive purchases of grand crus, mostly in Charmes-Chambertin and Mazis-Chambertin, but also in the village and regional appellations. The wines truly reflect the Gevrey terroir. Above all, the aim is to allow the terroir to express itself. Yields are limited in order to maximise concentration; a traditional and careful maturing in barrels (between 50 to 100% new oak) is carried out for 14 to 18 months.
