Hello. Tighter, more compact for now. Tightly furled, gorgeous fruit just peeping out, ripe and red but not sweet. More like macerated raspberries and hawthorn. Rosemary too a tad of leather and rubber as well. Complex and compact. Bursting with energy, but more of the earth for now, less fruit singing. More about the serious feel and drive. Hugely impressive. Blimey. Long, pure and deeply intense.L&S (Nov 2017)

Very intense nose with masses of energy. The savour of Mazoyères with floral, hedgerow top notes. Very compelling. Broad and rich but not at all sweet. Lots of depth. Firm and massively penetrating on the palate. Magnificent. Very clean and energising. Drinking range: 2025 - 2045 Rating: 18.5+ Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2018)

(from .25 ha parcel of 60+ year old vines planted at a density of 14,000/ha in Mazis-Bas – vinified with 90% stems). A classic Mazis nose of game, smoke, spice, earth and plenty of floral influence leads to borderline painfully intense, muscular and powerful flavors that coat the mouth with sève while delivering huge length on the seamlessly balanced finish. At the risk of sounding like a broken record though this is indisputably constructed for the distant future and I would advise not even thinking about opening a bottle before its 10th birthday.

My own highlights include the Mazis- and Mazoyères-Chambertin and a quite brilliant Gevrey Lavaux Saint-Jacques. The 2016 Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from three parcels (worked by horse) that were untouched by the frost. It includes 90% whole-cluster fruit. It has a not dissimilar bouquet to the Mazoyères-Chambertin but perhaps with a touch more richness—hints of fig complementing the dark cherry and cassis fruit. The palate is marked by firm tannin, very structured but also fresh and energetic, more grip and firmness than the Mazoyères, with a very sustained finish that lingers in the mouth. This just bristles with nascent energy that effortlessly counterbalances its arching structure. For serious Burgundy-philes only.

Domaine Dugat-Py, along with only DRC, Roumier, Rousseau and Leroy, is rated in the top Three Star category by the 'Classement' published by the Revue du Vin de France. These are the essence of robust Burgundy, wines of huge scale and concentration. Patience is required, so lay down a few grand bottles for your dotage.

STORAGE OPTIONS:

Wines bought en primeur are scheduled to arrive in the UK over the course of the next eighteen months.

BURGUNDY EN PRIMEUR FAQ

OFFER: All wines are offered subject to availability and final confirmation.

PRICING: All prices are quoted IN BOND ex-VAT, by the case size stated. Please double check that the desired case size does match what is being offered as wines are variously listed in threes, sixes, dozens, halves and larger formats.

DELIVERY - TIMING: This is a primeur offer so the wines are not yet physically available for delivery. They will be shipped to the UK over the next eighteen months. Generally, wines are shipped to your nominated location once the whole order has landed in our London City Bond account. If you require wines to be delivered by a certain date, please advise us at the time of ordering.

DELIVERY - FEES: In bond delivery to an Elephant Storage account (for more information see 'Storage Options' opposite) is free of charge. Transfer of wines to any third-party bond (i.e. not Elephant Storage) will incur an administration charge of £16.50 + VAT for all orders under £1,000. Please indicate if you would like the wine duty paid and a duty & VAT invoice will be raised once all the wines on your order are available for shipment. Once the relevant duty & VAT has been settled, we will ship the wines to your nominated address as per our normal duty paid Delivery Terms.

PAYMENT: All orders will be invoiced for immediate payment by cheque, cash, debit card or cleared funds to our account. We regret that we cannot accept credit cards for primeur orders. We reserve the right to apply a dunning charge of 2% per month on invoices unpaid after 30 days.
