Nez charmeur cassis, des violettes, on dirait une jolie Côte Rôtie. Texture élégante, avec un côté velouté apporté par un élevage un trop appuyé à mon goût. Ça ressemble vraiment à une Côte Rôtie, mais trop moderne et boisé à mon goût. Il y a des tanins de bois qui amène un côté asséchant à la finale. Décevant pour un producteur célèbre. 90 pts

Liked it well enough, but not my style of Burg. More interesting aromas than palate, which was rich and heavy, with more wood than I like. Absolutely wouldn't pay the price again.

(Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite-Chapelle) Dugat-Py Dear Friends, As one of the more dedicated vigneronnes in the trade, Bernard Dugat has turned in a perfomrance that should change the perception of his wines on the world stage. It is a triumphant success in a year that required the growing season to shine through, not the skin tannin. After so many hyper-extracted vintages that appear to peform far better at auction than at the dinner table, Bernard Dugat finally found magic in 2007 - a terroir year that favored transparency. The vintage style combined with Dugat-Py's typical depth and intensity resulted in tantilizing wines that are certainly among the finest Bernard has yet produced. While the riper years get all the headlines (1990, 1999, 2002, 2005), there is no doubt which vintage the winery places near the top: 2007. Always loaded with potential but seemingly stuck in the mud of Syrah in Pinot Noir clothing, many of Dugat-Py's wines have barely evolved (even the 1995-1999's) instead they remain in a timewarp with impatient collectors beginning to tire of the waitng game for secondary complexity to emerge. All of this has a chance to change with the 2007s. In 2007 Dugat-Py harnassed a Roumier meets Bernard Dugat style that will be swooned over by classicists and modernists alike. Even Truchot will find soemthign to admire in this set of 2007's and that's sayign a lot. As far as red Burgundy goes, your yuan could do far worse than an investment in 2007 Dugat-Py - esepcailly to drink. While these are no shrinking violets (far from it), they show the most deliberate difference of vineyard and soil expression since I began tasting this often ravishing set of wines with the 1990 vintage. As with previous vintages, the lure to order strictly on the highest score should be avoided - read the notes as they are a far better indicator of your potential enjoyment than 1-2 points. If you are investing to cellar and drink, the scores have little meaning (if your goal is to auction the wines, then the scores have more significance). Please try to balance your order requests - thank you in advance. This parcel has the finest provenance available: 2007 Dugat-Py Bourgogne Rouge (expensive for a Bourgogne but it's akin to a Gevrey Villages) 2007 Dugat-Py Bourgogne Rouge Halinard (more refinement than the regular Bourgogne, like a top tier Villages, but the regular may last longer - it's a toss-up as to which is the better wine) 2007 Dugat-Py Vosne-Romanee Vieilles Vignes - $ 118.71 (while not yet reviewed, this wine is always a favorite among our email list members - it shows a sophistication that is a cut above). 2007 Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes (BH88-91) 2007 Dugat-Py Pommard La Levriere Vieilles Vignes (BH89-92) 2007 Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin 'Les Evocelles' (BH90-92) 2007 Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin 'Couer de Roy' Vieilles Vignes (BH91-93) 2007 Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Petite-Chapelle (BH91-93) 2007 Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Lavaux-St-Jacques' (BH92-95) 2007 Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin 1er (BH91-94) 2007 Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Champeaux (BH91-94) 2007 Dugat-Py Charmes-Chambertin (BH92-94) 2007 Dugat-Py Mazoyeres-Chambertin (BH92-95) 2007 Dugat-Py Mazis-Chambertin (BH93-95) 2006 Dugat-Py Chambertin (BH94-97) (late release 2006) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg5420 Burg5421 Burg5422 Burg5423 Burg5424 Burg5425 Burg5426 Burg5427 Burg5428 Burg5429 Burg5430 Burg5431 Burg5432 Burg5433 Burg5434

I'd wait 3-5 years on next bottle. Nice, but a bit wound up.
