2009 Bernard Dugat-Py Bourgogne Rouge Cuvee Halinard

2009 Bernard Dugat-Py Bourgogne Rouge Cuvee Halinard
Gevery-Chambertin is another of the villages in Burgundy with a truly long history starting with roots in prehistoric times with Gallic communities and leaping forward to the Abbey of Beze founded in 630. It is now the largest commune with over 600 hectares of vines and boasts the greatest number of Grand Crus (9 of 23) and some stunning Premier Crus.

Little remains of the buildings of L'Aumônerie, a small abbey at the foot of the Combe de Lavaux in the old part of the village of Gevery-Chambertin. Amazingly the vaulted cellars, built by Abbot Halinard in the 11th century on orders from the Papacy, are beautiful, solid and the quiet resting place for the wine filled barrels of Domaine Dugat-Py.

Members of the Dugat family have been tending vineyards in the Gevery-Chambertin appellation from the beginning of the 17th century. Bernard Dugat and his son, Loîc are the 12th and 13th generation in this lineage of vignerons. Bernard's grandmother, Jeanne Boinot, traces her line back to 1645 in Gevrey-Chambertin; deep roots, very deep roots.

Bernard uses the knowledge of his generations past to guide him in the vineyard. Vines are tended meticulously. Organic farming practices help sustain the soil and vines. Yields are very low, on average 30 hl/hectare and in some years as low as 20 hl/hectare. Most of their vines are Vieilles Vignes (65+ years old). Bernard always picks on the early side of the harvest to avoid over-ripeness.

Bernard Dugat's first vinification was 1975. He married Jocelyne Py in 1979 and finally created Domaine Dugat-Py fifteen years later in 1994. Many advancements and changes followed. Son, Loîc became part of the domaine after studying enology. They started on the road to farming organically and all vineyards became organic in 2003. Vineyard plots in Pommard and Meursault were acquired. Renovation of the old and creation of a new winery ensued. A Chassagne Montrachet 1er Morgeot plot was added to the fold. With he use of horse drawn ploughing Dugat-Py made another nod to the ecology of the vineyards of Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, 1er Cru Fonteyn and Les Evocelles. And, finally in 2009 parcels of Les Evocelles were re-planted with new vines.
