① Introduction

Domaine Dugat-Py is one of the most powerful and concentrated producers in Gevrey-Chambertin. Known for extremely low yields, ripe fruit, long macerations, and generous new oak, the domaine creates intensely structured, dark-fruited Pinot Noir with tremendous aging potential.

Mazis-Chambertin is among the most robust and wild of Gevrey’s Grand Crus, often compared to Chambertin for its depth and power. Dugat-Py’s interpretation is particularly dense, dark, and muscular—one of the estate’s signature Grand Crus.

The 1999 vintage is considered one of Burgundy’s greatest modern years, featuring perfect ripeness, vibrant acidity, and refined tannins—an ideal match for Dugat-Py’s style.

② Terroir Characteristics

Mazis-Chambertin sits immediately north of Chambertin and is divided into Mazis-Haut and Mazis-Bas.

Soil profile:

Upper portion: more limestone → finer structure

Lower portion: more clay → deeper, broader wines

Signature notes: dark berries, game, spice, forest floor, earth, and sauvage character

Strong structure and muscularity

Dugat-Py’s low-yield management further amplifies the natural power of this terroir.

③ Style of the 1999 Vintage

1999 is a benchmark vintage with perfect ripeness and balance.

Aromatics:

Blackberry, black cherry, plum, game, leather, licorice, forest floor, and dark mineral tones.

Maturity:

Now entering peak maturity, showing truffle, dark chocolate, herbal notes, and pronounced sauvage complexity—an outstanding expression of Dugat-Py in a great year.
① Introduction

Domaine Leroy, through SA Leroy holdings, is one of Burgundy’s most revered producers. Known for ultra-low yields, biodynamic viticulture, and remarkable purity, Leroy’s wines offer depth, finesse, and exceptional longevity.

Clos des Chênes is one of Volnay’s most structured and age-worthy Premier Crus, offering more backbone and depth than the typical Volnay profile. Leroy’s interpretation combines intensity, precision, and floral elegance.

1985 is a celebrated Burgundy vintage, yielding aromatic, harmonious, beautifully mature wines.

Their Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Crus defy the appellation’s rustic stereotype, offering elegance and lift.

Château d’Yquem stands at the pinnacle of Sauternes and is widely regarded as the greatest sweet wine estate in the world. Extreme berry selection, low yields, long barrel aging, and exceptional botrytis complexity define its style.
