Domaine Claude Dugat, a small yet esteemed estate in Burgundy, boasts a reputation for exceptional quality. The domaine operates from the historic Cellier des Dimes, acquired by Claude Dugat's father, Maurice, in 1955.The Dugat family, including Claude, his wife, son, and two daughters, manage three hectares of their own vineyards and an additional three hectares rented. The foundation of Domaine Claude Dugat's quality lies in their meticulous vineyard management. The vines are cultivated to naturally produce small berries, enhancing the concentration and richness of the wine.
“Claude Dugat emphasises achieving the same number of bunches as neighbouring vineyards but with berries half the size, ensuring optimal ripeness without over-ripening.”
In the winemaking process, grapes are fully destemmed, and fermentation begins immediately.The ageing process varies depending on the year and the origin of the grape. Domaine Claude Dugat's wines reflect a deep understanding of viticulture and a commitment to maintaining the highest standards, ensuring their legacy of excellence continues.
