Domaine Dugat-Py, based in Gevrey-Chambertin, is globally regarded for producing wines of extraordinary depth, structure, and longevity. The Charmes-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes is drawn from minuscule parcels of Pinot Noir planted over a century ago, reflecting the domaine’s philosophy of meticulous farming, low yields, and traditional vinification. This Grand Cru bottling is among the most powerful and ageworthy expressions of the appellation.
-
WINEMAKER: Bernard Dugat-Py
-
FARMING: Certified Organic; horse-plowed, hand-harvested, and farmed with biodynamic principles (uncertified)
-
VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
-
TERROIR: Sourced from extremely old vines (over 100 years) in Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, with shallow clay-limestone soils on the lower slopes of the Côte d'Or.
-
VINIFICATION: Indigenous yeast fermentation; partially whole-cluster depending on vintage; minimal intervention
-
AGING: Aged for 18–20 months in 100% new French oak barrels
-
TASTING NOTES: Dense and layered with aromas of wild black cherry, raspberry liqueur, dried rose petals, crushed stone, and spice box. The palate is powerful yet lifted, with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral finish that will unfurl over decades.
