The Gevrey-Chambertin Fonteny Bernard Dugat-Py 2009 is a Premier Cru red Burgundy from the Fonteny vineyard, noted for its stony clay-limestone soils. Bernard Dugat-Py, known for his meticulous attention to vineyard practices, operates with extremely low yields, employing organic and biodynamic methods. The wine is crafted through 100% destemming, followed by cold maceration and fermentation using indigenous yeasts. It is aged for 16-18 months in new French oak barrels. Expect a wine with deep colour and aromas of dark berries and mineral notes

(Dugat has owned these 50-year-old vines touching Ruchottes-Chambertin since 1996 but this is the first time they'll be bottled on their own; aging in a single 350-liter barrel) Wild yet somehow refined on the nose, hinting at a flinty minerality. Lush, ripe and creamy-sweet in the mouth; large-scaled and broad but already compellingly perfumed. The longest of these 2009s to this point, finishing with pronounced minerality and substantial granular tannins that will require aging.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2011
