The village-level Gevrey-Chambertin from the main Domaine Claude Dugat label is the estate's most accessible red wine, providing the Dugat house style in its earliest-drinking and most commercially available format. This wine differs from the La Gibryotte Gevrey-Chambertin not in winemaker, philosophy or winery but potentially in parcel selection, with the main label typically reserving the finest village-level parcels for the Domaine Claude Dugat range.

William Kelley at the Wine Advocate assessed this wine at 89-91 points from barrel in January 2025, noting that the 2023 vintage delivers 'an especially charming, giving vintage of the Dugat village bottling,' with aromas of cherries, raspberries, spices and licorice followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural palate. The 2023's warm, accessible character makes this one of the more immediately enjoyable Dugat village releases of recent years.

Village Gevrey-Chambertin from Claude Dugat sits at the bottom of a hierarchy that culminates in grand cru Charmes-Chambertin, and the brand's reputation for excellence across all tiers is well established. Even at the village level, the Dugat approach of low yields, careful selection and gentle extraction produces a wine that significantly outperforms most commercial Gevrey-Chambertin in complexity and aging potential. For buyers new to the domaine, this is the appropriate starting point.

Drink from 2026 to 2034. Pair with roast chicken with herbs, duck breast or mild game preparations. Decant one hour before service and serve at 15 degrees Celsius.

Clear ruby with a bright, clean edge. A generous nose shows cherries, raspberries, Gevrey spice, light earth and a fine mineral thread. The palate is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and textural with lively acidity and a clean, mouthwatering finish. An especially charming and giving expression of the 2023 vintage from this renowned address.
