The 2022 Domaine Claude Dugat Gevrey-Chambertin is a Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy's most iconic domaines. Based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Claude Dugat has earned an international cult following for its tiny production, old-vine holdings and meticulous attention to detail. The estate's wines are renowned for combining concentration, precision and extraordinary ageing potential, making them some of the most sought-after bottles in the Côte de Nuits.

The fruit for this village-level Gevrey-Chambertin comes from several old-vine parcels across the appellation. Gevrey-Chambertin is often regarded as the most structured and powerful of Burgundy's great villages, producing wines that balance dark-fruited intensity with complexity and finesse. The warm and highly successful 2022 vintage delivered exceptional fruit quality, producing wines with remarkable concentration while retaining freshness and balance.

The wine opens with aromas of black cherry, wild blackberry and red plum, layered with notes of violet, rose petal, baking spice and subtle forest floor nuances. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, with a concentrated core of ripe red and dark fruit supported by vibrant acidity. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and depth, while the old-vine fruit contributes impressive persistence and complexity. The finish is long, mineral-driven and exceptionally refined.

Claude Dugat's village Gevrey-Chambertin is widely regarded as one of the benchmark village wines of Burgundy, often displaying a level of intensity and ageing potential that rivals many Premier Cru bottlings. The generosity of the 2022 vintage adds an extra dimension of richness and approachability while preserving the precision and terroir expression for which the domaine is famous.

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a lively bouquet of brambly red fruit tinged with sous-bois and redcurrant pastilles. Quite delicate and nicely focused. The fresh palate is relatively spicy on the entry and very well balanced, with a little more intensity on the finish than expected. Yet, it retains wonderful composure. - Vinous
