prodigious wine, Dugat?s black-colored 2001 Chambertin boasts a blackberry, chocolate, tar, and dark cherry-filled nose. Medium to full-bodied, supple, sweet, and thick, its voluminous, harmonious character conquers the palate with unbelievably dense layers of lush black fruits. A viscous, yet perfectly-balanced effort, it sports an imposing, seemingly unending finish. This stately Burgundy transcends its vintage. Wow! Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020+.
Producer
Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py
Domaine Dugat-Py is not only one of the oldest established producers in Gevrey-Chambertin, but also considered one of the best. The current Dugat family represents the thirteenth generation that has produced wine, their ancestors had started in the beginning of the 17th century. The domaine was created in 1923, when Fernand Dugat married Jeanne Bolnot. The name changed to Dugat-Py in 1994, when Bernard Dugat added his wife's maiden name, carrying forward a Burgundian tradition. Reminiscent of a small cathedral, their dramatic ageing cellar hails from the 12th century and was used to store wine for the Abbey of Saint-Bénigne in Dijon. It is one of the most renowned cellars in the entire Côte. They produce a variety of top appellations, including Le Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin and Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux. Their wine style tends to be extroverted, deeply colored and with notable concentration. They are spiced with pronounced new French oak and sweet fruit cores. Despite their full-on nature, they are also notably well sculpted and long ageing.
