"The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy is also a notable success, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, spices, licorice and loamy soil. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's as concentrated as ever, with striking depth and mid-palate volume, but it's also especially seamless and suave this year, reflecting Loic Dugat-Py's shift toward gentler winemaking and more discreet elevage." Wine Advocate
"A super-fresh and distinctly earthy nose is comprised by notes of cassis and dark berry fruit liqueur along with a hint of the sauvage. The dense, serious and mouthcoating flavors possess a beguiling texture thanks to the abundance of dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannic spine shaping the strikingly long if decidedly austere finish. This is flat out terrific and it's rare to see villages-level Gevrey at this level." Burghound
"Deep raspberry fruit, with a floral edge, the balance between the rewarding density and fresh acidity ensures that the wine is not heavy at all. Marvellous. Dugat-Py has 3ha of village Gevrey and most of the vines are very old - the average age is 50 years of age, although the oldest is 110. There is a hectare of 80-year-old vines in Les Epointeurs, a half-hectare in Combes de Dessus and a half-hectare in Les Marchais amongst others." Decanter
