Dom. Dugat-Py La Levriere Tres Vieilles Vignes Pommard 2009 Red Wine 75cLBy Winebuyers

1 x 75cl. The producer, Dugat-Py, has developed a cult following worldwide for their meticulously cared-for, organic vineyards predominantly in Gevrey-Chambertin, and holdings in four of the Grand Crus. This wine is amazing on two counts – they only started bottling their own wines in 1989, and the wines aim at elegance rather than opulence. They also have holdings in Pommard and Vosne-Romanee. Meticulous work in the vineyards with an average age nearing 7 years is followed by low intervention winemaking. The surprise is the use of almost all new oak for the ranked crus, but this is handled so judiciously it results in balance and harmony. The wine is made from 70- to 80-year-old vines in the Pommard La Levriere lieu-dit, which is farmed organically. This wine combines concentration with extreme finesse and elegance, making it a polished wine that is suitable for both men and women.
