Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py is hailed as a luminous star in the Burgundy constellation, revered by connoisseurs as a bastion of authentic "vin de garde," wines that evolve and magnify in quality with the passage of time. Their commitment to the vineyard is nothing short of meticulous, as evidenced by their organic certification dating back to 2003. With approximately 7.5 hectares under their stewardship, primarily gracing the slopes of Gevrey-Chambertin, including the hallowed terroirs of four Grand Crus, as well as smaller holdings in Vosne-Romanée, Pommard, Chassagne-Montrachet, and Meursault, they have established an enological empire.
In the cellar, their winemaking philosophy is rooted in minimal intervention. Grapes are harvested judiciously, often at an earlier stage, stems intact, and judiciously aged in oak. The result is a portfolio of wines that resonate with the distinct character of their appellation and possess an innate ability to gracefully mature over time. Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py's wines are the epitome of Burgundian excellence, a timeless testament to the art of winemaking that continues to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike.
A classic wine pairing for Pinot Noir is roast duck, as the wine's elegant red fruit and earthy notes beautifully complement the rich, tender meat.
The nose of this wine is a cool and pure revelation, characterized by an enchanting array of floral notes that weave a captivating tapestry. It further unveils an intricate fusion of red and dark currants, accompanied by delicate hints of herbal tea, spices, and earthy nuances.
On the palate, this wine exhibits an elegant and potent expression. The middleweight flavors are graced with exceptional mid-palate density and an inherent minerality that elevates the experience. The finale is graced by the essence of bitter cherry pits, leaving an enduring impression. While the wine is already striking, it suggests the potential for even greater depth, underlining the promise of a brilliant evolution in the making.
