2012 DUGAT-PY CUVEE COEUR DE ROY BERNARD GEVREY CHAMBERTIN RP--92 AG--94

Robert Parker: 92 Points
(WA90-92 points) The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur de Roy comes from Bernard Dugat?s vines planted in 1910, raised in 60% new oak with 70% whole cluster fruit. It has a rather strict, taciturn bouquet at the moment, but the mineralite is tangible underneath and will flourish with bottle age. The palate is medium-bodied with fine acidity and abundant pure dark cherry and blueberry notes, segueing into a tense, wonderfully poised finish. This is very fine. - Neal Martin

Antonio Galloni: 94 Points
(AG92-94 points) Dugat-Py's 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin C?ur du Roy emerges from parcels ranging from 50-103 years of age. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and black olive are rich and explosive on the palate, The 2012 is endowed with stunning purity and depth. This is another huge Burgundy that is going to require at least a few years in bottle.
