Description

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.

The 2021 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has also turned out brilliantly in bottle, and readers will have a hard time choosing between this and the Lavaux Saint-Jacques. Bursting from the glass with aromas of peonies, wild berries, cherries, orange zest and spices, it's full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with a broad attack that segues into a layered, enveloping core, concluding with a long, spicy finish.

Here the more reticent nose isn't as elegant though it is more complex with its layered blend of red and dark pinot fruit, anise and discreet earth and floral wisps. The supple and highly seductive medium weight flavors possess excellent depth and persistence on the mildly austere finale. This is already appealing and several years of cellaring should only enhance its attractiveness.

Food Pairing

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.
