DUGAT Bourgogne Rouge, Domaine Dugat 2001 Grape Varieties 100% Pinot Noir Food Matching Note: Grilled charmoula lamb chops, grilled lamb kebabs with cumin and cinnamon, and other dish that is not too powerful such as duck in a red wine sauce. Tasting Note: The nose shows lovely ripe cherries with some nice herbiness. Richly fruited palate, soft and full, with firm tannins, appropriate acidity, spicy elements and great balance. An attractive wine all round. Vinification Note: With some of the oldest vines of any Domaine in Burgundy, some as old as 70 years old, it is with no surprise that Dugat yields as little as 18 hectolitres per hectare. Dugat's Pinot berries suck terroir out of the soil and deliver focused fruit flavours that can electrify, even shock, the palate with uncompromising purity. With no filtration, no fining and little intervention during vinification, it should come as no surprise that Dugat's Pinots are so clean and racy. "I don't like opulent wines; I like elegant wines," said Dugat. Find this wine at www.winestore.co.uk Price: £33.65 (Including VAT at 20%)
