The Dugat-Py 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur Du Roi captures this bottling's typically mysteriously marine, saline, iodine-laced, shrimp shell reduction-like mineral streak, along with its typical sweetness of diverse black fruits (here raspberry and cherry). The fine grain of the tannins permits a luscious sense of fluidity and seductively soothing, satiny texture, while notes of cocoa powder and darkly roasted coffee reinforce the sense of sweetness. As usual, this represents a striking though equally palate-staining and (in its unique way) equally mineral contrast to the Les Evocelles. It should drink well for at least 10-12 years.

Offers gorgeous aromas of red and black currant, flowers and spice. The flavors deliver more of the same, with a mineral element that turns to licorice and tobacco on the finish. There's terrific balance and intensity at this level. Best from 2010 through 2018. Score: 92 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2010-2018 |

Interestingly given its exposition, this is notably ripe with an expressive cool red berry and pungently earthy nose that slides into rich, full and distinctly serious middle weight flavors that offer an appealingly textured mouth feel on the velvety and slightly floral finish that is admirably persistent. This too delivers outstanding quality for its level. Score: 91 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2016+ |

Deep red-ruby. Explosive nose combines blackberry, game, earth and roast coffee. Spicy and intense but less harmonious today than the Evocelles, showing a slightly rougher grain today. This gives an impression of lower acidity. Dugat uses 80% new oak for this wine, 50% for the Gevrey Vieilles Vignes and 100% for the rest of these wines.
