Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Evocelles 1999

Dugat-Py’s Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1999 is a beautifully mature expression of Pinot Noir from one of the northern, cooler sites in Gevrey-Chambertin. Sourced from very old vines on chalky, stony soils and crafted with the estate’s trademark low yields and meticulous attention to detail, it combines precision, depth, and classical Burgundy character in a wine of real pedigree.

Tasting Notes
With more than 25 years of bottle age, the wine now shows a deep, evolved profile rather than primary fruit. Aromas of dried cherry, forest floor, truffle, and gentle spice unfold with remarkable elegance, while the palate is silky and composed, carrying fully integrated tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. The 1999 vintage brought ripe fruit and excellent balance, giving the wine both power and finesse. It is drinking beautifully now, with its layers of maturity and complexity fully revealed, though it still has enough structure to hold its own at table.

Production
Les Evocelles is a high-altitude, cool parcel north of Gevrey-Chambertin, where limestone-rich, rocky soils help shape wines with freshness, energy, and tension. Dugat-Py harvests the fruit by hand, carries out rigorous sorting, and ferments it in small open vats before aging the wine for around 18 months in new oak barrels.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for dishes with earthy depth and refined richness, such as roast duck, pigeon, veal with morel mushrooms, or game birds with truffle sauce. It is best served at around 16–18°C, and while decanting is not essential for older Burgundy, a gentle decant shortly before serving can help the wine open up.

Producer
Dugat-Py is a highly respected family estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, known for producing intensely crafted, low-yield Burgundies from some of the village’s most sought-after vineyards. The domaine has built its reputation on old vines, strict vineyard work, and a powerful yet finely detailed style that has earned it a strong following among collectors of top Burgundy.
