Dugat-Py Chorey les Beaune tres Vieilles Vignes 2018
This light and supple red wine are moderately tannic but rich and characterful.
Quite vividly coloured, it is often dark crimson with purplish highlights. The nose is dominated by small red fruits (raspberry, Morello cherry) and black fruits (blackberry) set off by notes of liquorice and underbrush. With age, it evolves towards strawberry preserves and gingerbread with animal and leather notes. It is well-built with noticeably elegant tannins. Its well-rounded structure leaves an aftertaste of fruit on the palate. The whites are light gold in colour and the aromas of the Chardonnay recall white flowers, hazelnut and lemongrass. Rather lively when young, this well-fruited wine quite rapidly acquires a smoothness that evolves into a worthy body, length and lusciousness.
On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with lively acids, rich structuring tannins and a long, penetrating finish.
