Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Dugat-Py 2001

The wine

Charmes-Chambertin is an elegant, rich wine without being over-powerful. An extremely smooth beverage with lovely ripe fruit aromas which are characteristic of this exceptional wine.

A true genius when it comes to vinification, Bernard Dugat acquired his first parcel in 1973, when he was only 15! Gradually, the domain grew through successive purchases of grand crus, mostly in Charmes-Chambertin and Mazis-Chambertin, but also in the village and regional appellations. The wines truly reflect the Gevrey terroir. Above all, the aim is to allow the terroir to express itself. Yields are limited in order to maximise concentration; a traditional and careful maturing in barrels (between 50 to 100% new oak) is carried out for 14 to 18 months.
