"Dramatically mineral and carnal in its evocations of crushed stone, peat, and game, Bernard Dugat's 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.-Jacques displays implosively intense tiny, dark- and blueberry concentration. Intensely sweet fruit is offset by invigorating chew of berry skin and soy-like salinity, and underlain by persistent stone and smoky peat. The tannins here are refined, and the resonant finish combines power and dark depth with energy and cut. Time will tell whether this acquires finesse, but it is sure to remain impressive for more than a dozen years, and I would be inclined not to revisit it before 2011. Jocelyne and Bernard Dugat insist that they each personally lead a select picking crew through their two tiny old parcels in this cru – one a strip near the Clos St.-Jacques and one high up and well into the Combe, near the Verroilles – which together yielded a mere 50 this year."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
