Gevrey-Chambertin 'Vieilles Vignes', Domaine Dugat-Py 2020
One of the top domaines in Burgundy, Dugat-Py also has one of the most impressive and extensive cellars in the region, originally built in 11th century for the Abbey of Saint Benigné in Dijon. Loïc Dugat, now 13th generation, is continuing the family tradition of making some of the greatest and most sought-after wines in Burgundy, from the family’s eleven hectares of perfectly-sited vineyards, planted with vines averaging nearly seventy years old. Everything is done by hand, while a horse is used to plough a few of the vineyards. The domaine has been fully organic since 2003, with Loïc now working biodynamically across a number of sites. The wines are vinified with as little intervention as possible and are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Since 2017 the use of new oak has been reduced which really allows the quality of these sites and the character of the old vine fruit to shine through from barrel. Under Loic’s stewardship and with a string of superb vintages, Dugat-Py is now firmly back in the front rank of Burgundy’s top domaines. These are not inexpensive wines but if you consider that the village level “Vieilles Vignes” and “Coeur du Roy” are better than most growers' 1er Crus, whilst Dugat-Py’s 1er Crus are more thrilling than a lot of others’ Grand Crus then it helps put purchases in perspective.
Sierra Cantabria, Finca El Bosque Rioja 2019
The 2018 Viñedos Sierra Cantabria Finca El Bosque is a deep, inky blue-black Rioja that immediately grabs your attention. The nose is complex and refined, with floral tones, wild herbs, blackberry, crème de cassis, and layers of creamy toasted oak and coffee spice. On the palate, it’s rich, dense, and structured, showing a powerful mix of fruit, oak, tannin, and acidity - all in beautiful balance. Made from 100% Tempranillo grown on the gravelly 1.5-hectare El Bosque vineyard (planted in 1973), this micro-cuvée showcases the full potential of mature vines. Each berry is hand-selected, and the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and 18 months of aging in new French and Romanian oak. A standout Rioja.
