William Kelley writes for Wine Advocate: "As ever, these are deep and concentrated wines, the product of low yields and old vines, but as has been the case for several years, extraction continues to be gentler. And Loïc has furthermore quietly reduced, once again, the percentage of new oak used here. Where until recently 100% new was the order of the day from all premiers and grands crus—and sometimes for communal appellations, too—that has been much reduced... Loïc has also spent some time tasting and discussing with Max Gigandet, director of Tonnellerie François Frères, and is happier than ever with the barrels with which he's being supplied. All of which is to say that, even in the inherently ripe and broad-shouldered 2018 vintage, this is one of the most elegant sets of wines ever to emerge from Domaine Dugat-Py. I encourage readers to put outdated stereotypes of excessive oak and over-extraction to one side and try what is being produced today, as these are bottles that number among the finest that contemporary Burgundy has to offer."

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Coeur du Roy has also turned out very well in bottle, exhibiting aromas of plums, wild berries, sweet spices, peonies, orange rind and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, it's textural and concentrated, with bright acids and powdery structuring tannins, concluding with a long finish. This is even more charming and polished in style than I imagined it would be from barrel. (WK)
