A Grand Cru that embodies the soul of Gevrey-Chambertin, shaped by time and the passion of a lineage of winemakers.
The Charmes-Chambertin Très Vieilles Vignes 2023 from Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py is far more than a wine: it is the fruit of a mythical terroir, a promising vintage and a know-how passed down through thirteen generations. Sourced from Pinot Noir plots planted several decades ago, this Burgundy Grand Cru stands out for its depth, its balance and that touch of classicism that has made the great wines of Gevrey-Chambertin so renowned. The 2023, already acclaimed by critics, combines power and finesse, with a structure that promises a long evolution in the cellar.
An exceptional terroir, a unique signature.
Located at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin is one of the eight Grands Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin, a vineyard whose clay-limestone soils and ideal exposure endow the wines with rare complexity. The estate's very old vines, cultivated with absolute respect for the terroir, yield grapes of exceptional concentration. The result? A red wine of sovereign elegance, where aromas of black fruits, gentle spices and floral notes intertwine, all supported by a silky tannic framework and a persistent finish. A 2023 vintage that is already establishing itself as a benchmark, to be enjoyed today or cellared by lovers of great age-worthy wines.
For over a century, Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py has upheld the excellence of Burgundy wines with an uncompromising level of demand. Based in Gevrey-Chambertin, this family estate, now led by Loïc and Bernard Dugat-Py, cultivates 15 hectares of exceptional terroirs, where every gesture is guided by respect for the soil and tradition. Their wines, often described as "icons" by critics, reflect a constant pursuit of purity and authenticity, making this domaine one of the most respected in the region.
This Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2023, sourced from very old Pinot Noir vines, is presented in a 75 cl bottle. With an alcohol content of 13%, this red wine combines power and refinement, as reflected in its high scores (91–92/100 by Robert Parker, 19/20 by the Revue du Vin de France). A Grand Cru with an elegant structure, designed for extended cellaring.
What is the particular characteristic of the very old vines used for this wine?
Very old vines, often several decades of age, produce grapes in smaller quantities but with exceptional concentration. Their deep root systems draw from soil layers rich in minerals, lending the wine a unique complexity and aromatic intensity, while also enhancing its ageing potential.
How long can this wine be kept in the cellar?
Thanks to its elegant tannic structure and balance, this Grand Cru possesses a remarkable ageing potential. It can be kept for between 15 and 25 years, or even longer under optimal cellar conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity and absence of light).
Which dishes pair ideally with this vintage?
Its elegance and aromatic complexity make it an ideal companion for refined dishes: feathered game such as pheasant or quail, truffled poultry, milk-fed lamb, or aged cheeses such as Époisses or old Comté. It also pairs wonderfully with wild mushrooms.
What is the impact of the Gevrey-Chambertin terroir on this wine?
The Gevrey-Chambertin terroir, characterised by limestone and clay-marl soils, lends this wine a distinctive minerality and a fine tannic structure. The exposure of the plots and the local microclimate favour a slow ripening of the grapes, developing deep aromas and a great length on the palate.
Why is the 2023 vintage considered a classic?
The 2023 vintage is distinguished by a harmonious balance between freshness, concentration and elegance, typical of the great wines of Burgundy. The climatic conditions of the year allowed for optimal ripening of the grapes, preserving their natural acidity while developing an aromatic richness faithful to the estate's style.
What is the significance of the scores awarded by Robert Parker and the Revue du Vin de France?
The scores of 91–92/100 (Robert Parker) and 19/20 (Revue du Vin de France) underline the excellence of this wine, both technically and aromatically. They reflect its exceptional quality, its balance and its ageing potential, placing it among the most sought-after grand crus in Burgundy.
