Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Reviewer, Pierre Rovani - In 1995 Dugat produced another spectacular Charmes. Medium-to-dark ruby colored with touches of purple, this elegant gem's thick texture and cascade of fat, chewy black fruits are divine. Spiced with toasty oak, long and refined.Stephen Tanzer's IWC
Brilliant ruby color. Blueberry, violet, smoky oak and floral aromas convey an almost syrupy sweetness. Dense and extremely concentrated; this shows an almost painful intensity today yet has no rough edges. Pure Pinot sap. Totally convincing grand cru. Builds and builds on the palate and aftertaste.Wine Spectator
Just delicious. This succulent, fruity red is round, supple and loaded with sweet red- and blackberry flavors. It's medium- to full-bodied and firm tannins are well-integrated. Balanced from start to finish.Additional Information
| Sub-Region : |
BurgundyCold winters and hot summers combine with unpredictable rainfall in Burgundy, one of France’s best and most variable wine regions. Vintages can vary widely in Burgundy, with the best years far outperforming lesser years. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes reign supreme, with the best examples coming from forty Grand Crus such as Romanée-Conti, Echézeaux and Charmes-Chambertin. Chablis, Beaujolais and Mâcon are all viticulturally part of Burgundy. |

FranceThough French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil. |
