Domaine Claude Dugat: The Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru Experience

The DUGAT CLAUDE GRIOTTE CHAMBERTIN ROUGE is a world-class Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most sought-after domaines. Sourced from the tiny Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru vineyard-the smallest of Gevrey-Chambertin’s nine Grands Crus-this wine is a benchmark for intensity, purity, and sheer elegance. It’s a collectible, investment-grade bottle that delivers an unforgettable sensory experience.

Tasting Notes & Profile

• Color: A deep, brilliant ruby that matures into a complex garnet hue.
• Nose: Intense and layered, featuring signature aromas of wild cherry (griotte), ripe raspberry, and rose petals, evolving into sophisticated notes of fine leather, exotic spice, and earthy truffle with age.
• Palate: Full-bodied and opulent, yet defined by a stunning silkiness. The tannins are present and firm, yet polished, providing an exquisite, velvety texture. The wine possesses incredible power and an exceptionally long, pure finish.
• Cellaring: Built for the long haul. While seductive in youth, this Grand Cru truly shines after 10-25+ years in the cellar, making it a perfect legacy wine.

Pairing Recommendations & Service

This is a wine that demands respect and a worthy culinary partner. Decant young vintages gently and serve at 60-63°F (16-17°C).

• Pairings: Elevated red meat dishes (Braised Short Ribs, Prime Beef Wellington), Sophisticated game or poultry (Roasted Squab, Duck Confit), Aged, pungent cheeses (Epoisses, Ami du Chambertin).
