Gevrey-Chambertin Cœur de Roy Bernard Dugat-Py 2008 is a red wine from the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation in the Côte de Nuits. This wine originates from a single plot on clay-limestone soils. The 2008 vintage benefitted from a cooler climate, resulting in moderate alcohol levels and pronounced acidity. The wine offers aromas of red cherry, plum and earthy undertones. The palate exhibits structure with fine tannins and a lingering minerality..

The 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roi, from vines ranging from 50-100 years of age, powers through the palate with superb density and focus. This shows terrific depth and richness, but it, too, is painfully young. Still, it is impossible not to admire the wine’s sheer precision and fabulous overall balance. Anticipated maturity. 2018-2023.

Bernard Dugat farms 10 hectares of vineyards, 6.5 of which he and his family own outright. The Dugat-Py wines are breathtaking for their richness and depth. Despite their sheer concentration, the wines retain tons of vineyard and vintage character. These are some of the most viscerally thrilling, exciting wines I tasted on my recent trip through Burgundy. The only 2009 I wasn’t able to taste was the Pommard, which had been bottled just prior to my visit.

60-70% whole bunch, 50-100-yr-old vines. The only cuvée we tasted which had not yet finished malolactic fermentation. Firm and rather brutal flavours. Very dry finish. Lightly fizzy still but with some smooth texture and again a little bit of green stemminess. (JR)

A Respect for Tradition

Founded in the late 1980s by Pierre Dugat and now run by his son Bernard, Domaine Dugat-Py have swiftly risen to be recognised as one of the most exciting wineries in the Côte d'Or. Although Bernard produces excellent wines from the communes of Fixin and Pernand Vegelesses, Dugat-Py is primarily known for their excellent Gevrey-Chambertin, which run from Villages level all the way to Grand Cru. Vines are venerable, averaging 65 years, and all vineyard work is done in a traditional manner, including the use of a horse-drawn plough.

Dugat Py have been fully organic since 2003 and are moving towards biodynamic practices in some vineyards. Winemaking is low intervention and the wines are bottling without fining or filtration. The wines are matured in French oak barrels from renowned coopers François Frères and 100% new oak is used for the Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines.
