This year, I also tasted the range of whites from barrel, including some new cuvées from purchased grapes that are mostly harvested by the domaine's own team: these all demonstrated more cut and grip than has sometimes been the case in the past, standing out as some of the finest whites I've tasted at this address. It once again bears repeating that this domaine's innovative viticulture, emphasizing high, unhedged canopies and biodynamic preparations, with soils cultivated to encourage deep rooting, means the vines are better equipped to resist climatic extremes than many of their neighbors. And while low yields, old vines and small-berried massal selections mean that these are inevitably deep, concentrated and age-worthy wines, extraction isn't pushed so far as it once was, and—as I've written before—Loïc Dugat-Py has also quietly reduced the percentage of new oak used here. So, I once again encourage readers to put outdated stereotypes of excessive oak and over-extraction to one side and try what is being produced today, as these are bottles that number among the finest that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. - \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Kelley January 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meursault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44403798868102,"sku":"KS-DugatPy-MeusaultPorusot","price":389.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/DugatMeursaultPorusot.png?v=1790019732","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/dugat-py-le-porusot-meursault-premier-cru-1er-2023","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
