This wine has garnered high praise from several reputable wine reviewers. Decanter awarded it an impressive 97 points, describing it as "a massive wine with black fruit and an imposing structure, plenty of depth, and impressive persistence on the palate." The review emphasizes that despite its muscularity, the wine is perfectly balanced. The uniqueness of this Mazoyères is partly attributed to the soil in the vineyard, which has larger pebbles compared to a nearby parcel of Charmes, as explained by Loïc Dugat-Py.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate also provided an excellent review, giving it 95+ points. The reviewer described it as "more intellectual than the demonstrative Charmes," with complex aromas of "incense, plums, dark berries, vine smoke and spices." The wine is noted for its full-bodied, layered, and concentrated nature, with a deep, multidimensional core framed by lively acids and powdery tannins. The review highlights a shift in recent vintages towards greater elegance without sacrificing the wine's inherent seriousness.
Burghound rated the wine at 96 points, highlighting its "super-fresh, cool and distinctly restrained aromas" that include "poached plum, the sauvage, rose petal and plenty of newly turned earth." The flavors are described as delicious, vibrant, and powerful, with a notable minerality on the "youthfully austere and superbly persistent finale." The review notes that while the wine could use a bit more depth, it is expected to develop over time, ultimately calling it "superb."
Overall, the 2020 Dugat-Py Mazoyeres Chambertin is a highly acclaimed wine that showcases both power and elegance, with a complex flavor profile and excellent aging potential.
