Product Notes

Domaine Claude Dugat Bourgogne Rouge wine presents a French vinous elegance steeped in tradition. This fine Burgundy offering showcases a deep, intense ruby hue with subtle undertones. On the nose, it’s a refined harmony of ripe cherries, wild berries and spices. The palate offers a well-rounded, balanced experience. It's a medium-bodied number with delicate tannins. Vivid fruity notes are backed by earthy undercurrents and delicate oak nuances. The finish is enduring and satisfying. This wine merits pairing with indulgent charcuterie or red meats. This Bourgogne Rouge is an exquisite testament to Dugat's masterful winemaking prowess in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin.

Tasting Notes

The nose offers delicate and complex aromas of bright cherry, raspberry and violet with hints of fennel and clove. This wine has tremendous depth and intensity for a Bourgogne rouge, with fresh acidity and velvety tannins on the palate. Elegant and balanced, it will develop more flavour intensity and a superb complexity with age.

About the Winery

Domaine Claude Dugat

Nestled in the heart of Burgundy, France, Domaine Claude Dugat is a renowned family-owned winery that is recognised worldwide for its top-quality, divine wines. Established by Claude Dugat himself in 1955, and meticulously run by his family over the years, the winery boasts a remarkable heritage of producing some of the finest and most sought-after wines.

Situated amidst stunning vineyard landscapes, the winery is an epitome of tradition and craftsmanship personified. The time-honoured process involves handpicking the very best grapes then thoughtfully fermenting and ageing them in their historic cellars, creating opulent wines that are a true embodiment of their terroirs. Apart from producing significant volumes of Grand cru, quite impressively, the winery also has a dedicated focus on Gevrey-Chambertin village and Premier cru wines.

In terms of scale, Domaine Claude Dugat may be small, occupying just about 6 hectares, but its reputation is anything but, courtesy of consistently impressive, high scoring wines. Critics laud these wines for their exceptional balance: an underlying structure of taut minerality, bright acidity and supple tannins, overlaid with richly supersaturated fruit and spice flavours.

The Dugat family keeps their production level relatively low, and this purposeful scarcity helps to amplify their wines' allure, making each bottle a prized possession.

A visit to this celebrated winery will yield not just a mesmerising panoramic view of beautiful vineyards but also an opportunity for close interaction with the Dugat family. Their love and passion for their craft pervades the winery and influences their winemaking, thereby, ensuring the highest standard of fine wine craftsmanship in every single bottle produced: a toast to the remarkable Domaine Claude Dugat winery.

It's a must visit for wine connaisseurs and enthusiasts alike, not just to sample their excellent wines but to also gain unique insights about the rich wine making heritage that prevails within the vaulted walls of this distinguished winery.
