Robert Parker

The 2012 Pommard Le Levrieres Vieilles Vignes comes from 82-year old vines that yielded just 5 barrels this year, of which 2 barrels are new and includes 50-60% whole cluster fruit. The wood is still a little present on the nose but underneath lies some lovely, floral tinged raspberry fruit laced with blackcurrant and creme de cassis. The palate is medium-bodied with good grip on the entry, well-judged acidity. This has fine grip, a bullish Pommard but with great depth and poise on the finish. This will outlast many a Pommard in 2012.

Domaine Dugat Py

Nestled in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, the Dugat family has been iconic winegrowers since the early 17th century. Today, Bernard Dugat and his son, Loïc, representing the 13th generation, continue to honor and enhance the rich legacy, drawing from the expertise cultivated over four centuries. Their estate sits at the base of the Combe de Lavaux, near the historic heart of the village, where the Chaplaincy buildings, once owned by the Abbey St Bénigne of Dijon since the late 9th century, stand. From these ancient edifices, the estate's cellars, masterfully constructed in the 11th and 12th centuries under Chaplain Halinard's guidance, have endured. These hallowed chambers, bearing witness to nearly a millennium of winemaking history, now cradle the Dugat-Py wines as they age gracefully for 18 to 24 months. The tradition, echoing through the centuries, is very much alive under the watchful eyes of the Dugat family.
