Dugat-Py Beaune 'Les Beaux Fougets' Vieilles Vignes 2022

Dugat-Py Beaune “Les Beaux Fougets” Vieilles Vignes 2022 – Beaune, Burgundy, France

Producer's Notes: 

Red cherries, dried cranberries and baked raspberries create a big fruit sensation on the nose. Furry tannins and integrated acidity give the palate a gentle, curvaceous feel, which is surprising for one of Beaune's "power mode" Premier Crus. 

What we say:

From the renowned house of Dugat‑Py, this 2022 “Les Beaux Fougets” Vieilles Vignes offers a rich and expressive take on Beaune Pinot Noir. Expect aromas of red cherry, dried cranberry and baked raspberry, followed by more savoury notes of undergrowth, spice and subtle forest-floor earth that speak to its Côte de Beaune roots. On the palate the wine delivers silky tannins, integrated acidity and a gentle, rounded texture - elegant enough to appreciate on its own, yet structured enough to pair with food.

Food Pairing Suggestions

• Roast duck or game birds - the wine’s red-fruit and subtle earthiness complement game and dark poultry beautifully.

• Mushroom-based dishes (risotto, wild-mushroom pasta) - the forest-floor character of the wine enhances mushroom’s earthy depth.

• Charcuterie and cured meats - soft tannins and juicy fruit balance salty, fatty meats.

• Beef bourguignon or slow-cooked venison stew - the wine’s structure and fruit profile stand up to rich, rustic flavours.

• Soft-rind cheeses (e.g. Époisses, Brie) - the Pinot’s acidity and subtle spice pair nicely with creamy, rich cheeses.
