Dugat Py - Gevrey Chambertin Coeur Du Roy Tres Vieilles Vignes AC 2020

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy is also a notable success, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, spices, licorice and loamy soil. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's as concentrated as ever, with striking depth and mid-palate volume, but it's also especially seamless and suave this year, reflecting Loïc Dugat-Py's shift toward gentler winemaking and more discreet élevage."

DECANTER: „Deep raspberry fruit, with a floral edge, the balance between the rewarding density and fresh acidity ensures that the wine is not heavy at all. Marvellous. Dugat-Py has 3ha of village Gevrey and most of the vines are very old - the average age is 50 years of age, although the oldest is 110. There is a hectare of 80-year-old vines in Les Epointeurs, a half-hectare in Combes de Dessus and a half-hectare in Les Marchais amongst others."
