A real treat to taste this unfiltered gem at age 22 — a very generous bouquet that beguiles from the first pour. The tannin backbone clearly is still assertive though not distracting, while the tart cherry fruit remains but has perhaps begun slow decline. Open up if you have these but for the patient, will be fun to try every few years to enjoy the evolution of the secondaries on the nose (not sure about how that will go on the palate).

Pommard deroutant tant l’acidité est présente, certes elle a mis pas mal de temps a s’integrer au fruit tres croquant, mais la patience fut récompensée ! Quelle merveilleux flacon! Dommage que cela ne soit ma seule bouteille…

Stems, menthol, black fruit, and minerals on the nose. Palate opened up nicely in the glass with good intensity and depth. It has entered its drinking window. Punching above its class.

Still carrying a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but with some classy dark fruit beneath it that becomes more nuanced with air, it could be very impressive in several more years if the fruit can outlast the tannin.

Pnp, dark red in color. Signature stemmy nose of Dugat-Py's wine, black fruit nose with oak spice. Concentrated on palate, good balance of acidity and fruit sweetness, more dark fruits with teeth grabbing tannin. A proper Gervey Chambertin village but equally pricy, and what's not for bourgogne's wine?

(Dugat-Py Bernard Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur de Roy) Medium-plus cherry-red colour. On opening, the nose was actually rather engaging - like the Fourrier only denser. After about 40 minutes it’s deeper-still, rather savoury and ungainly - which is a shame - fortunately after 90 minutes it freshens up a little to give a relatively diffuse black-shade fruit which is not great but is certainly better - the last drops in the glass give cause for optimism though. The palate has a smooth, understated entry, in fact it’s silky smooth, linear and with darker-shaded fruit. The finish is understated, and the length is the equal of the 99 Fourrier that follows.
