Formed in 1994, Dugat-Py is a family-owned Domaine based in Gevrey-Chambertin. The estate is now run by Loïc Dugat-Py, the 13th generation of winegrowers in his family. This Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes comes from old vines that are grown in limestone-clay soils and cultivated organically. The 2005 vintage in Burgundy produced wines that are highly regarded for their depth, concentration, and complexity. The growing season had ideal conditions with a warm and dry summer, allowing the grapes to reach optimal ripeness.

Ruby-red. Sexy, deeply pitched aromas of black fruits, game and smoky oak. Lush, rich and full, with a deep sweetness to its black and blue fruit flavors. This boasts extraordinary fat and depth for a village wine, even if today it shows less lift than the 2006. Finishes with broad, substantial tannins. Put this in a carafe if you plan to pour it any time soon.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2008

Dugat’s micro-climatically diverse parcels of village Gevrey with vines 30-50 years of age inform his 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes, which had just been bottled when I visited (whereas the other wines would be bottled in a month or more). Dugat says his sulfuring was as light as possible, and this wine is certainly not suffering in any obvious way. It boasts a wonderfully silky suppleness of texture, juicy and engaging black raspberry and pomegranate fruit character, and a finish featuring notes of game, forest floor, fruit skin tartness, and the bitter side of vanilla bean, but with more brightness, lift and exuberance than the firm and darkly-shaded wines typical of this vintage. Not that this wine lacks for grip or visceral intensity. Sock some away for 8-10 years.

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.
