Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques Claude Dugat 1997

The wine

Lavaux Saint Jacques is one of the most highly-prized premier crus in Gevrey-Chambertin. Claude Dugat’s interpretation is majestic, concentrated, and intense, with the refinement of a grand cru. Age for at least 10 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.
