Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Claude Dugat 2013

The wine

This Charmes-Chambertin from Domaine Claude Dugat has an astonishingly intense fruity quality when young. The wine is delicate, but its nose is absolutely delicious. It ages gracefully, taking on rich aromas of juicy roast meat after 10-15 years in the cellar. One of the appellation’s finest wines.

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.
