Domaine Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes 2017

Domaine Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Vieilles Vignes 2017 is a masterfully crafted, rare blend sourced from the estate's choice Premier Cru plots of old vines. The 2017 growing season yielded a remarkably classic, supple, and expressive style of Burgundy, allowing this wine to showcase its deep old-vine density without the severe youthful austerity often found in cooler years. In the glass, it shows a luminous, translucent ruby color. The bouquet is highly refined and seductive, opening with bright aromas of black and red cherry, raspberry, and crushed violets, balanced by complex undertones of sweet baking spices, damp earth, and gentle wood smoke. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, harmonious, and exquisitely balanced. Velvety, integrated tannins seamlessly frame a deep core of pure fruit and chalky mineral depth, while a fresh vein of natural acidity provides excellent lift and length.

Food Pairing: Roasted duck breast with cherry reduction, pan-seared squab, wild mushroom tart, or aged Comté cheese.
