Domaine Dugat-Py Petite Chapelle - Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru - Red - 2018 :

 

The DUGAT PY GEVREY CHAMBERTIN PETITE CHAPELLE RED is a benchmark for fine Red Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits. Hailing from one of Gevrey-Chambertin's premier Premier Crus, this wine is the ultimate expression of age-worthy Pinot Noir, combining the appellation's signature power with a refined, aromatic complexity. Domaine Dugat-Py, known for its organic viticulture and low yields, produces a wine here that consistently challenges the quality of its Grand Cru neighbours.

Tasting Profile: A Grand Cru in Disguise

The « Petite Chapelle » plot, located directly beneath the Grand Crus of Chambertin and Chapelle-Chambertin, gifts the wine with extraordinary depth and backbone.

• Colour: Deep, shimmering ruby.
• Nose: An intense and layered aroma of dark forest fruits-black cherry, blackcurrant-interlaced with woodland spice, savoury truffle, and a hint of game. The new oak maturation is superbly integrated.
• Palate: Initially robust and concentrated, the mid-palate unfolds with a wonderfully silky texture and ultra-fine tannins. The wine's structural integrity and lively acidity promise a superb evolution over many years in the cellar.

Serving & Culinary Matches

Treat this exceptional Premier Cru with the respect it deserves-it's ideal for a formal dinner or a celebratory occasion.

• Serving Temperature: 16-17°C. Decanting is strongly recommended for 2-4 hours, particularly for younger bottles, to allow the powerful structure to open up.
• Food Pairings: Roast Venison with Redcurrant Sauce, Pan-Fried Partridge with Wild Mushrooms, or a rich, aged Stilton or Comté cheese.

A highly sought-after bottle; a cornerstone for any serious cellar.
