Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru La Gibryotte Claude Dugat 2021

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.

Domaine Claude Dugat buys in the grapes for this cuvée but then creates and matures the wine on the property. This superb wine is much more accessible than the domaine’s other cuvées.
