I tbink this producer is one you either really like or don’t based on the style; personally I don’t much care for them.

Thanks for the message and also your comments. I totally agree that :
different strokes for different folks - hence producers, producers and producers. Those are the basic facts…for burgundy wines in general.

New York City Verticals Tasting — La Paulée
New York City Grand Tasting — La Paulée
These are the complete list of wines poured at the verticals and grand tasting this year
Since no one asked: I gave up on Dugat Py a while ago. The wines were rather dense and modern for my tastes. Somewhat impenetrable young. That was several dozen bottles across rangs and years (late 90s trough 2014 or so at various points of evolution). Just never struck a chord with me. Can’t chase all the wines out there, so need to tell me to try them now because of x.

Since…no one asked you, how about now ?
I love Claude Dugat and also Bernard Dugat-Py; and they are similar to me, personally, as night and day in their different styles.
So here is my question : Do you love Claude Dguat’s wines ?
I love both…just wish they are not pricey. For the last many years, we only got Claude Dugat village Gevrey and bourgogne.
Lucky for the last few years, SAQ release many wines by La Gibryotte, for example, the boungogne, Gevrey, 1er cru…plus the grand-cru : Charmes…at a much cheaper prices. 
To be honest, i don’t drink any Dugat wines. And they aren’t opened in the circles I am in- I can’t remember being around a Dugat wine being opened over the last five years. So I don’t really think much about either producer. That’s not a commentary on the wines, plenty of people enjoy them.

Paul… case closed. Did you try the wines yet ? If not, please try one and report back - please !!
Just in case, here is what Morris said : Loie took over his parents.. page 248; and then on page 249…The Dugat-Py Charmes, which contains some Mazoyeres, in the blend, is a sensual and flamboyant wine, whereas the separate bottling of Mazoyeres has more of a mineral crunch. This wine is made from a section sitting on a slight hump overlooking its neighbors - catching the wind which concentrates the grapes, according Loie.

Yes - there are not too many fools in the secondary markets with burgundy wines.
Merci…for your comments.

I was just kidding, Captain Corton!
I have three of the 2017 GC ‘Coeur du Roy’ on the way and will look forward to trying them.

I am sure the 2017 will be singing as 2017 is the best vintage for enjoyment now. I wish I bought more when 2017 was released by SAQ - specially Des Croix and M. Mallard.

Wow, wow, this one was a wild ride! Straight out of the bottle was an acidic lime wedge. Puckered your mouth with shrink-wrap. Undrinkable. But then over two hours in the decanter it started to resolve, here come the raisins, then…the black cherries and black plums. 2.5 hours in, the harsh, truncating acid was GONE. Now it’s just lovely wine. Dark everything on the nose. But now the palate has all this dark fruit, black cherries, barely ripe blackberries, and the smell just gets richer and richer. Pure silk rolling around on your tongue.
Glad I have five more of these!
@Dennis_Atick , brother, it’s not as good as the 2002 which you and me had in the last couple months, but if that one is a flat A, this 2005 is all of a strong B+.

For Science 
The Mugneret-Gibourg is one of the top young wines I’ve tasted. The Henri Magnien’s biggest flaw was being poured next to the Mugneret-Gibourg 
I really like 22s. The top wines have hedonistic common points with 2019 but are a bit lighter on the alcohol which works well with my palate.
Mungneret-Gibourg: Utterly brilliant. Vosne spice with a touch of whole cluster - floral and sweet - just billows from the glass. The wine has an intense core of sappy red and blue fruits that drives down the center of the palate and then spreads it’s peacock tail in waves of lacey mineral laden red berries that sublimate in an elegant airy finish.
Henri Magnien: Pretty reductive on first pour which blows off after several hours. Oak needs to integrate. Similar mineral thread to the MG showing its terroir. Beautiful airy red fruit with good length but lacking the complexity of its cousin. A great wine in its own right, and an estate I would continue to keep an eye on.

Pretty special for a gevrey chambertin. (Ok, technically not but closer than vosne romamee.)

Probably more the winemaking than the terroir I would say.

Damn! Great notes. Increasingly tempted to find more 22 MG

Cool, I didn’t know H Magnien had a domaine Ruchottes. Looks like holdings are wedged between Bonnefond (Roumier) and Rousseau up on the slope. Pretty good company! Also small holding in Ruchottes bas also near some of the MG holdings.
Yeah I’m going to do a 17 ruchottes dinner sometime soon once I can find the pacalet, chateau de marsannay and Marchand grillot bottlings.

I’ve thought about trying to organize something similar given my love for this vineyard. Would be fun to do whites from the Chassagne 1er Cru, Les Grandes Ruchottes to start. Paul Pillot, Ramonet, PYCM, Bernard/Benoit/Alex Moreau all produce great examples.
