Description
100% Chardonnay. Dugat-Py is a high class Gevrey-Chambertin domaine that has risen to prominence in the last ten years. It was run for many years by Pierre Dugat and, astonishingly, only began estate bottling in 1989. It is now run by Pierre’s son Bernard, who is recognised as one of the shrewdest winemakers on the Côte. The wines are concentrated, yet extremely stylish and well balanced. Reds and whites are very approachable in youth, but show at their best with 5-8 years of bottle ageing.
Tasting Notes
Rich and dramatic, Dugat-Py's 2018 Meursault Vieilles Vignes wafts from the glass with aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers, clear honey and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a layered, textural core of fruit, succulent acids and an expansive finish, it's a gourmand, rather old-fashioned Meursault that's quite extroverted out of the gates by the domaine's standards.
