Domaine Dugat-Py Petite Chapelle, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, France 2023

Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru “Petite Chapelle” is a benchmark expression from one of the domaine’s most prized hillside sites, perched just below the grand crus of Chambertin and Clos de Bèze. Drawn from old vines planted in the 1960s and farmed organically, this wine captures the essence of Dugat-Py’s style power, depth, and precision while retaining a striking sense of lift and energy. The 2023 vintage brings added generosity to the cuvée, layering dark cherry, wild berry, and spice over a firm, mineral-driven core, framed by refined but persistent tannins. Fermented with significant whole cluster and aged extensively in oak, it delivers both structure and complexity, with the pedigree to evolve beautifully over time. A serious premier cru that consistently performs at a near grand cru level, this is a collector’s Gevrey with both immediate impact and long-term potential.
