Dugat Py Auxey Duresses 'Sur Melin' Rouge 2023
Dugat-Py Auxey-Duresses Sur Melin Rouge originates from the Burgundy region of France, specifically within the Auxey-Duresses appellation of the Côte de Beaune. Domaine Dugat-Py is a historic estate with family roots in Gevrey-Chambertin dating back to the 19th century, though its current iteration was established in 1994. Under the leadership of Loïc Dugat, the winery emphasizes a philosophy of 'biological' viticulture and minimal intervention, utilizing very old vines—often exceeding 65 years of age—to produce wines of exceptional concentration and purity.
Wine Description
This red wine, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, displays a beautiful intensity of ruby red that can evolve toward tiled reflections with age. The bouquet is well-balanced, offering rich aromas of small black fruits like blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by subtle scents of peony, undergrowth, and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is refined and meaty with a supple attack, showcasing notes of spice, leather, and a distinct mineral intensity. The body is concentrated yet fresh, finishing with velvety tannins and impressive aromatic persistence.
Food Pairing
The velvety tannins and vibrant fruit profile of this Auxey-Duresses make it an ideal partner for delicate red meats, roasted veal, or rabbit 'à la forestière'. It also pairs beautifully with grilled poultry or charcuterie and can stand up to flavorful, aged cheeses such as Comté or Camembert.
