Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Evocelles 2005

Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Evocelles 2005 is a finely judged expression of one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s cooler, higher-lying sites, combining power, precision, and the unmistakable signature of old-vine Pinot Noir. With tiny yields and meticulous élevage, it reflects both the craftsmanship of Dugat-Py and the historic depth of Burgundy’s most characterful terroirs.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2005 shows the kind of mature depth that Burgundy lovers prize: a layered, complex color and an evolving bouquet of dark berries, forest floor, truffle, and subtle gamey nuances. The palate is beautifully balanced, with ripe fruit now softened into earthy, savory flavors, while the acidity keeps the wine lively and focused. Silky tannins and a long, mineral finish give the wine impressive poise and persistence. It is drinking very well now, but the structure and concentration suggest it can continue to hold at a high level for some time, especially for those who enjoy mature, nuanced Pinot Noir.

Production
Les Evocelles comes from a high-altitude parcel north of Gevrey-Chambertin, where limestone-rich, stony soils and a cooler exposure help produce small, concentrated berries with natural freshness. Dugat-Py farms old vines at extremely low yields, and the wine is traditionally fermented in open vats with a long maceration before spending around 18 months in new oak barrels, adding depth and structure without overpowering the site’s mineral energy.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for refined, earthy dishes such as roast duck, squab, game birds, veal tenderloin, mushroom risotto, or truffled pasta. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if the bottle has been resting, though a brief decant is usually enough for a mature wine like this.

Producer
Dugat-Py is one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most respected domaines, known for its intensely site-driven wines, very low yields, and uncompromising attention to detail in both vineyard and cellar. The estate has built a strong reputation for producing powerful yet precise Burgundy wines that age exceptionally well, making it a benchmark producer in the region.
