Bernard Dugat-Py, Pommard Levrieres Vv

Bernard Dugat-Py, Pommard Levrieres Vv(vinified with ~50% of the stems). Not surprisingly the nose is completely different compared to that of the Vosne as the floral elements are less pronounced with more earth character to the red currant aromas. There is excellent richness and phenolic maturity to the suave and very round medium bodied flavors that possess superb concentration, balance and even better depth. A seriously impressive effort.

as one would reasonably expect

lacy and beautifully energetic middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the detailed

(from vines planted in 1927)

there is very good balance and harmony

expansive and broad wine of striking inner perfume and sweetness

This for me has a better balance than the 2009

Rio Sordo and Pora

The 2005 Belgrave is a gorgeous Haut-Médoc

yet concentrated and masculine-styled Gigondas that has impressive purity and length

Maybe a bit too pungent on the nose

The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins

depth and complexity
