Claude Dugat Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is a rare gem for the discerning wine lover. Crafted by the acclaimed Dugat family in Gevrey-Chambertin, this Grand Cru epitomizes the balance of tradition and innovation. Cultivated on steep slopes over ancient Bajocian and Bathonian limestone, with rich fossil impressions from 150 million years ago, the vineyard’s soil structure lends this wine its singular depth and character. Claude Dugat’s minimalist, low-intervention winemaking approach, including cold pre-fermentation maceration, preserves the vineyard’s essence while elevating complexity. With yields so limited that only a few cases are produced annually, this wine is a treasured find, showcasing power, elegance, and a lasting tribute to its heritage terroir and the Dugat family legacy.
