2017 Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Claude Dugat, Burgundy, France

OVERVIEW

An enveloping, sumptuous wine from Claude Dugat that is intensely aromatic on the nose and rich and textured on the palate with ripe red fruits abounding. A delicious wine that will be a smash hit with rich, saucy meat dishes like bœuf bourguignon.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Tasted from bottle, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is a pretty and immensely charming wine bursting with aromas of cherries, raspberries, bergamot and rose petals, with little hint of the savory complexity to come with bottle age. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, with lively acids, appealing purity of fruit and a precise finish. 90 Points William Kelley

FOOD PAIRING INSPIRATION

This wine will pair perfectly with a saddle of lamb, bœuf bourguignon or coq au vin and ripe cheeses. 

VINTAGE AND WINEMAKING

Considered an outstanding vintage in the Cote de Nuits by the Wine Enthusiast, 2017 was a welcome relief to the damage sustained and poor vintage of 2016 with wine of character and density produced throughout Gevrey Chambertin.

After picking, the grapes are destemmed, crushed, then cold soaked before they undergo fermentation in concrete vats. Matured in oak barrels, the result is both rich and balanced.
