Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru Claude Dugat 2007

The wine

Griotte-Chambertin possibly owes its name to the cherry aromas sometimes present in a glass of this grand cru. Claude Dugat has created a majestic Griotte-Chambertin. The wine is very fragrant, a little more concentrated than the Charmes, and can be drunk after 5-15 years.

About the Producer Claude Dugat

Claude Dugat, now of worldwide acclaim, produces an infinitesimal quantity of high-quality wines on the terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin. In this carefully cultivated domaine, the yields are microscopic and the vinification leaves little room for intervention: no clarifying nor filtration is conducted on these wines whose domaine produces, in its most prosperous years, a mere 50 cases of Griotte Chambertin and 100 of Charmes Chambertin. Wine for aging, these rich and complex wines show great consistency over the whole range, even in the small vintages. Mainly reserved for dilettantes, they cannot be found in traditional circuits.
