About the Winery

Nestled in the heart of Burgundy, France, Domaine Claude Dugat is a renowned family-owned winery that is recognised worldwide for its top-quality, divine wines. Established by Claude Dugat himself in 1955, and meticulously run by his family over the years, the winery boasts a remarkable heritage of producing some of the finest and most sought-after wines.

Situated amidst stunning vineyard landscapes, the winery is an epitome of tradition and craftsmanship personified. The time-honoured process involves handpicking the very best grapes then thoughtfully fermenting and ageing them in their historic cellars, creating opulent wines that are a true embodiment of their terroirs. Apart from producing significant volumes of Grand cru, quite impressively, the winery also has a dedicated focus on Gevrey-Chambertin village and Premier cru wines.

In terms of scale, Domaine Claude Dugat may be small, occupying just about 6 hectares, but its reputation is anything but, courtesy of consistently impressive, high scoring wines. Critics laud these wines for their exceptional balance: an underlying structure of taut minerality, bright acidity and supple tannins, overlaid with richly supersaturated fruit and spice flavours.

The Dugat family keeps their production level relatively low, and this purposeful scarcity helps to amplify their wines' allure, making each bottle a prized possession.

A visit to this celebrated winery will yield not just a mesmerising panoramic view of beautiful vineyards but also an opportunity for close interaction with the Dugat family. Their love and passion for their craft pervades the winery and influences their winemaking, thereby, ensuring the highest standard of fine wine craftsmanship in every single bottle produced: a toast to the remarkable Domaine Claude Dugat winery.
