Wine for sale: Claude Dugat

Claude Dugat

Winemaker Claude Dugat and his children Bertrand, Laeticia and Jeanne produce very limited yet internationally prized vintages, usually reserved for true connoisseurs and the lucky few who manage to get their hands on one of their precious bottles. Claude Dugat’s wines are remarkably fresh and elegant, they are made the greatest respect for their terroir and the family’s heritage.

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.
