Domaine Claude Dugat Bourgogne Rouge 2023
£64.75
The wine
Delicate and complex, with bright cherry, raspberry and violet over hints of fennel and clove.
These vines sit in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, the largest on the Côte de Nuits and home to nine grand crus, though the wine is bottled as regional Bourgogne rouge. Buying Bourgogne from a domaine of this standing, made in the very same cellar by the same hands as the grand crus, is generally where the value in Burgundy hides.
The producer
Domaine Claude Dugat
View all Domaine Claude Dugat winesDomaine Claude Dugat is one of the most revered estates of Gevrey-Chambertin, in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits. Small and family-run, its wines are among the most sought-after in the region, made in tiny quantities. A name whispered with reverence by Burgundy lovers.
The domaine farms prized parcels of Pinot Noir on the limestone slopes of Gevrey, the greatest red-wine village of the Côte de Nuits. Meticulous, low-yield viticulture concentrates the fruit. Old vines and immaculate farming underpin the wines' depth.
In the cellar, Claude Dugat and his family work with a light, precise hand, using whole bunches and fine oak to build structure without masking the fruit. The wines are pure, silky and profoundly ageworthy. Craftsmanship defines the house.
From a village-level Bourgogne Rouge to the great Gevrey-Chambertin, Claude Dugat offers the Côte de Nuits at its finest. Rare, silky and built to age, these are among Burgundy's most coveted Pinot Noirs.
