Bright medium red. Very ripe, wild aromas of musky raspberry and game. Fat and sweet, with a dominant flavors of maraschino cherry; distinctly easygoing after the 2013 village wine. Not especially complex but supple, balanced, long and delicious. (Don't hesitate to snap up Dugat's 2012 Bourgogne Rouge, which also boasts uncanny sweetness and volume for its category.)
Good dark red. Enticing aromas of dark raspberry, coffee and gibier. At once rich and bright, offering youthfully spicy red fruit flavors and good inner-mouth tension. Sexy, nicely structured village wine with good density and a surprisingly firm-edged finish. And don't hesitate to buy Dugat's very rich, smooth Bourgogne Rouge if you see it on a retail shelf.
Violets, cloves, mint and licorice take shape in Dugat's 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin. Here the flavors are beautifully open and resonant. Layers of blue and purple-toned fruit wrap around the finish. This is another racy, perfumed, utterly impeccable Burgundy endowed with fabulous depth and pedigree.
