Bernard Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 2011

(a blend of Fontenys, Corbeaux and Perrieres; 75% vendange entier): Deep ruby-red. Explosive aromas of black fruits, sweet spices, smoky minerality and violet. Lush, dense and sweet; really packed with fresh dark fruit. Finishes with sweet, horizontal tannins and excellent balance and length. A terrific showing for this wine, which shows the creaminess of the year over a solid underlying structure. Score - 91-93. (Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, Jan./Feb. 2013)
