Dugat Py Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2023

Produced in France, this exceptional red wine hails from the Gevrey Chambertin appellation within the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy. Domaine Dugat Py is a historic estate dating back to the 17th century, now managed by thirteenth-generation winemaker Loïc Dugat. The winery is renowned for its treasure trove of old vines—averaging 70 years of age—and a winemaking philosophy that has evolved toward greater precision, nuance, and terroir expression.

Wine Description

Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is a muscular and concentrated expression of Pinot Noir, displaying a dark fruit profile with light spicy notes and a hint of bay leaf on the nose. On the palate, it is dense and earthy with a burly, 'grunty' grip and a touch of licorice on the finish. This cuvée, sourced from eight parcels with the oldest vines planted in 1915, offers a smooth, richly rippling texture and a savory complexity.

Food Pairing

The wine's savory profile and robust structure make it an ideal companion for rich, gamey dishes such as roast duck, goose, or a classic beef bourguignon. It also pairs beautifully with earthy flavors like wild mushroom risotto or a well-aged Comté cheese.
