Claude Dugat
Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir
Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Once again, SC describes this nicely, so I'll leave his notes here:
One of those special and unique Burgundy. Extremely elegant, velvety, with that unique typical "Griotte" expression. Very precise. Unlike othee Grand Cru's from Dugat, the oak here is more than intergrated behind a gorgeous violet bouquet.
I thought this was wonderful. Blue fruited and very floral nose, with a touch of oak. Palate brings about some delicious spice, bright cherries and plums, and clear precision with the acidity and finish. There's a real rustic touch with the tannins, although very fine. Begs for even more age in my opinion, but drinks phenomenally now!

Rich dark cherries, French expresso roast, black earth, big but nice minerality. Barrel tasting the 14's with Ms. Dugat. Another one that will require 10 years of patience.

This was rich & deep with notes of dark sappy fruits, spice box & violets. Sweet on the palate with good balance & length.

An impressive concentration, but a little shut down at the moment.
