A recent addition to the Dugat-Py portfolio, this prized parcel boasts vines that have gracefully thrived for nearly a century, bestowing a mere four barrels annually. Upholding the cherished tradition of all-selection massale, only the finest Pinot Fin specimens are chosen to perpetuate this legacy. These vineyards are lovingly cultivated, akin to a meticulously tended garden, with horse plowing, the alchemy of in-house biodynamic teas, and a canopy untouched by shears.
The celebrated estate of Dugat-Py, located at the base of the Combe de Lavaux in Gevrey-Chambertin, has been producing world-class wines for decades. While the exterior of the house impresses with its mid-16th-century architecture, it is the aging cellar that is truly spectacular. The cellar, or L'Aumônerie, is essentially a small abbey that was built by the Diocese of Dijon in the 11th century — making it the oldest cellar in Burgundy today.
Pinot Noir beautifully complements dishes like seared duck breast, as its delicate red fruit, earthy notes, and balanced acidity harmonize with the succulent, rich flavors of the meat.
