Eau de Vie de Marc de Bourgogne Claude Dugat

The wine

This brandy from Burgundy is made from marc, the solid residue left after the grapes have fermented. It is the distillation of these marcs by Claude Dugat that gives the brandy a remarkable richness and complexity. What stands out about this brandy is its blend of different eaux-de-vies from different vintages. This blend gives it a depth of flavour and a unique aromatic richness.
The fresh, floral and tangy notes unveil aromas of caramel, raisins and fig - there is no other tasting experience quite like it.
The estate tries to produce wines and brandies naturally by avoiding chemical fertilisers and using seaweed and wild grasses to enrich the soil. Each bottle is sealed with a wax cap and the label is applied by hand, which shows just how much attention to detail goes into every bottle.

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.
