Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Evocelles 2009

Dugat-Py’s Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 2009 is a striking example of how a great site and an exceptional vintage can come together in one bottle. Sourced from a high-altitude parcel north of Gevrey-Chambertin, it combines old-vine concentration, limestone-driven minerality, and the depth of a warm 2009 Burgundy. The result is a wine that shows both generosity and classic Gevrey-Chambertin elegance.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Pinot Noir is deep and mature in tone, with a dark ruby hue that hints at its ripeness and age. The bouquet opens with black cherry, blackberry, dried fruit, truffle, and spice, layered with a cool mineral note that keeps everything focused. On the palate, it is rich and harmonious, with silky tannins, supple texture, and a balance of ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and earthy complexity. The finish is long and refined, and while it is drinking beautifully now, it still has the structure to hold for a little while longer in proper cellar conditions.

Production
Les Evocelles comes from a high-lying vineyard north of Gevrey-Chambertin, where calcareous, stony soils and old vines naturally limit yields and concentrate flavour. Dugat-Py follows a traditional approach with hand harvesting, rigorous sorting, long fermentation in small open vats, and around 18 months of ageing in new oak barrels. In the warm 2009 vintage, this method produced a wine that balances ripe fruit expression with the site’s cool, mineral character.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for dishes with depth and savoury richness, such as roast duck, beef tenderloin, game birds, braised short ribs, or mushroom-based cuisine. It is best served slightly below room temperature, around 16–18°C, and can benefit from decanting for about 30–60 minutes if opened now, especially to allow its mature aromas to unfurl.

Producer
Dugat-Py is one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most respected producers, known for a meticulous, low-intervention style and a strong focus on old vines and terroir expression. The domaine has built a reputation for powerful yet finely structured Burgundy, often aged in a high proportion of new oak and crafted with exceptional attention to detail. Its wines are widely appreciated for their depth, longevity, and unmistakable sense of place.
