Sourced from the upper parcels of Charmes-Chambertin and crafted by Dugat-Py with old vines, careful selection, and a precise hand in the cellar, it combines depth, elegance, and unmistakable terroir character. This is a wine that reflects both the pedigree of the site and the seriousness of one of Burgundy’s most respected domaines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow fully developed, the wine shows a deep, evolved character rather than youthful fruit. Expect aromas of dried cherry, forest floor, truffle, subtle spice, and a refined mineral edge, all carried by the complex, layered profile that comes with age.\n\nOn the palate, it is silky and graceful, with fully integrated tannins, still-vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral finish. The 1999 vintage has given the wine generous ripeness, but the structure remains elegant and balanced. It is at a very fine drinking stage now, though its harmony and concentration allow it to continue holding well for near-term enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit comes from the upper parcels of Charmes-Chambertin, where old Pinot Noir vines grow in limestone- and clay-rich soils that bring both concentration and finesse. The grapes are harvested by hand with strict sorting, then fermented in small open vats before spending around 18 months in new oak barrels. This careful approach preserves the vineyard’s character while adding depth and polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 16–18°C and decant gently if needed, especially if the bottle has been resting for some time. It pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its earthy, savory profile, such as roast duck, pigeon, game birds, mushroom risotto, truffle dishes, or well-aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDugat-Py is one of Burgundy’s most highly regarded producers, known for meticulous vineyard work and deeply expressive wines from top sites in Gevrey-Chambertin and beyond.
