Domaine Dugat-Py – Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru – Red – 2021:

 

Dugat-Py’s Mazis-Chambertin: A Gevrey Grand Cru Masterpiece

The Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Dugat-Py stands as a pinnacle of Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir. Hand-harvested from meticulously farmed, 70-year-old ‘Très Vieilles Vignes’ and aged in ancient cellars, this wine embodies the wild, structured elegance of its Grand Cru status. It represents the profound evolution of a historic domaine, now under the precise guidance of Loïc Dugat-Py.

The Sommelier’s Assessment

• Appearance: A concentrated, dark ruby core.
• Aromas: A powerful bouquet of black forest fruit, rose petals, game, and a distinctive earthy, smoky minerality-the hallmark of Mazis.
• Taste Profile: Immensely concentrated and dense, with a taught, sinewy structure. The tannins are serious, demanding time, but enrobed in layers of pure, dark red fruit. The persistence on the finish is a testament to its Grand Cru pedigree and longevity.

Service & Gastronomy

A true vin de garde, this requires patience. For current drinking, a slow-O for a few hours is recommended. Serve slightly below room temperature.

• Cellaring: Will reward patience for two decades or more.
• Food Match: Roast Partridge, Beef Fillet en Croûte, Wild Boar Ragù, or a magnificent Venison Loin with a rich jus.
