Claude Dugat, Charmes Chambertin other_regions this wine is a monument

this wine is a monument to what Champagne's grower revolution has achieved over the last 30 or so years

but then this is a legendary wine

The palate is very firm

but I look forward to doing so the next time around

its only competition is the Asili Red Label

Claude Dugat, Charmes Chambertin other_regions this wine is a monument(from a . 33 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines in Charmes proper). A fresh, pure and relatively hightoned nose of elegant red currant, soft spice, rose petal and an agreeably subtle hint of wood. The sense of refinement continues onto the equally pure and well detailed medium weight flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel, all wrapped in a solidly complex and persistent finish that is firm but not so much so that this could not be approached young.
