The 2001 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes harks back to the Dugat-Py style of yesteryear, wafting from the glass with a rich bouquet of smoked meats, dark chocolate, plums, blackcurrants and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, muscular and extracted, with chalky tannins and tangy acids, it's a characterful wine that isn't as elegant as today's wines from this domaine—even if it works well at table with the right dish.
