Charmes Chambertin, Domaine Dugat-Py 2013

Tasting Notes

**Note: a blend of one-third Mazoyères and two-thirds Charmes proper - the fruit comes from a mix of mostly 20+ year-old vines and a small percentage of extremely old vines; 70% stems**
Once again the expressive nose is markedly floral with its mix of violet, rose petal and lilac scents where added breadth is present in the form of black cherry, spice and cassis. There is plenty of earth character to the supple and round yet impressively concentrated medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the balanced and lingering finish that is quite firmly tannic but not really rustic. This moderately chewy effort is going to require plenty of time in a cool cellar.

There is plenty of earth character to the supple and round yet impressively concentrated medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the balanced and lingering finish. Interestingly this doesn't have the power and drive of the Lavaut yet it's finer and more understated. While these two wines are rough qualitative equivalents note well that they possess very different personalities.
