In 2009 Dugat vinified his Gevrey-Chambertin Fontenys separately. There is just one 350-liter barrel of this wine to go around, but what a wine it is. The Fontenys is like cashmere on the palate, with the finest of tannins supporting a core of mineral-laced, focused fruit. Hints of licorice, mint and crushed flowers inform the finely spun finish. Dugat used 75% whole clusters here. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. Bernard Dugat farms 10 hectares of vineyards, 6.5 of which he and his family own outright. The Dugat-Py wines are breathtaking for their richness and depth. Despite their sheer concentration, the wines retain tons of vineyard and vintage character. These are some of the most viscerally thrilling, exciting wines I tasted on my recent trip through Burgundy. The only 2009 I wasn’t able to taste was the Pommard, which had been bottled just prior to my visit. Importer: The Sorting Table, LLC, 1700 Second Street Suite 380 Napa, CA 94559 ; tel: 707-603-1466
