Tasting notes
A few years ago, Bertrand Dugat's 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Village was quite tightly wound and acid driven, but it's knitting together very attractively with time and is only a year or two away from prime-time drinking from my cellar. Offering up a lovely bouquet of cherries and cassis mingled with hints of loamy soil, smoked meats and black truffle, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and incisive, with a tangy spine of acidity, tannins that are well on their way to melting and a long, sapid finish.

Dark bright red. Cool aromas of black cherry, menthol and mint. Juicy and on the lean side, with tightly wound dark berry flavors accented by pepper and spices. Shows good intensity but the tannins are a touch dry. Will this put on weight with time in bottle?
An appealingly fresh and deeply pitched nose possesses undertones of earth and sauvage notes to the mix of red and dark currant scents. There is reasonably good richness but also good delineation to the lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that display only a trace of rusticity on the frank, firm and intense finish.
The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin is quite sinewy and powerful in style. Hints of blue and purplish fruit, lavender, mint and cloves are framed by slightly firm tannins in a classically austere Burgundy that needs time to fully come together.
