Note di degustazione
Curiosity got the better of me, and I opened a bottle of the Dugat family's 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Village from my cellar in Beaune. It is evolving very gracefully indeed, and unlike not a few wines from this vintage, it hasn't shut down hard or entered an awkward phase. Offering up aromas of red cherries, cassis, violets and sweet soil tones, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and dynamic, with supple tannins, lively acids and a bright, precise finish. Marrying vintage-typical depth with rather more unusual mouthwatering freshness, it is a terrific success.

Bright red. Pungent aromas of red cherry, licorice and menthol. Nicely horizontal on the palate but not a fleshy or particularly sweet style. The black fruit and licorice flavors are joined by a strong spice element. Finishes with a serious spine of tannins that appear to be a bit dried by the wine's 100% oak element.
Powerful nose – dramatic! Rather reminiscent of Olivier Bernstein’s early years… Then sweet and round. Though not quite enough follow-through. Hint of rhubarb. Fast fade. (JR)
Deep, bright red-ruby. Black cherry, licorice and violet on the nose; distinctly darker than the Bourgogne. Dense and juicy in the mouth, conveying lovely precision and energy to its sappy cherry and berry flavors. Thick without coming across as weighty, this very promising village wine finishes with noteworthy length and lift. Bertrand Dugat noted that this is the first time the family's village wine has had such a successful balance of fruit and structure.
