Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Claude Dugat 2009

The wine

This Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru from Domaine Claude Dugat is concentrated, clean, and elegant. Although enjoyable to drink young, it will become more complex after aging for 5-12 years when its bouquet takes on dried flower and infused herb aromas.

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.
