2010 | Claude Dugat | Gevrey-Chambertin

Bright medium red. Vibrant, inviting aromas of red berries, flowers and mint. At once dense and tangy, with brisk acidity and a peppery element giving shape and grip to the flavors of cherry, berries, licorice, spices and smoky minerality. The dusty tannins hits the palate late, allowing the wine's fruit to express itself.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin boasts striking purity in its bouquet. That intensity carries through to the palate, where a rich melange of dark red fruit, flowers and spices comes to life. The balance and overall sense of harmony here are first-rate. The Gevrey is immensely pleasing, even today.

• Burghound: An attractively fresh and bright mix of cool red pinot fruit, sour cherry, earth and mineral notes gives way to attractively rich, round and well-delineated medium-bodied flavors that possess fine depth on the firm, balanced and agreeably tension-filled finish. A lovely villages that is well worth your consideration.

Producer Information

Claude Dugat is a Burgundy producer in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation of the Côte de Nuits. The tiny domaine with cult status produces a small number of wines exclusively from Pinot Noir, with the most sought-after wines coming from designated grand cru sites. The domaine was founded in 1955 by Claude's father Maurice when he purchased the Grange de Dimes – a 13th Century structure that had been used to store agricultural tithes for the church. Maurice converted it to a winery and cellar and renamed it the Cellier des Dimes. Dugat bottles three grand cru reds from Griotte-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Charmes-Chambertin, two premier cru wines, a Gevrey-Chambertin Villages and a Bourgogne Rouge. The grapes are completely destemmed and fermentation begins relatively quickly. The cap is punched down twice a day with very little to no pumping over taking place. The Bourgogne Rouge is aged entirely in one-year-old oak barrels and the villages is aged in a mix of new and one-year-old casks. All the premier and grand cru see entirely new oak. Claude Dugat runs the domaine with his family, while his three children also run the small negociant business La Gibryotte. Claude's cousin is the well-regarded Burgundy producer Bernard Dugat who owns Domaine Dugat-Py.
