1996 Bernard Dugat-Py Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
90-

Int'l Wine Cellar
Review Date: 03/1998Very deep red-ruby color. Sappy, sweet aromas of black raspberry and roasted coffee. Velvety on the attack, then sweet and ripe in the middle palate; seems a bit lighter in acid than some of his other '96's. Explosive, peppery finishing fruit gives an almost saline impression of extract. But a seamless wine, thanks to very ripe, smooth tannins.

Notes
Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py is one of Burgundy’s most revered artisanal estates, known for extremely low yields, old vines, and intensely concentrated wines that remain deeply rooted in terroir. Charmes-Chambertin is among the Côte de Nuits’ most celebrated grand cru vineyards, where limestone-rich soils and ideal mid-slope exposures produce Pinot Noir combining richness with aromatic finesse. Dugat-Py’s meticulous vineyard work and traditional élevage amplify the vineyard’s depth and structure while preserving the earthy minerality and layered complexity that define mature grand cru Burgundy.
