Domaine Claude Dugat Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022 is a red Burgundy from Gevrey-Chambertin, one of the Côte de Nuits’ benchmark villages for Pinot Noir. Chapelle-Chambertin itself is among Gevrey’s eight Grand Cru vineyards, and—by appellation definition—produces red wine only from Pinot Noir, a useful anchor point when little vintage-specific commentary is publicly available. The Chapelle-Chambertin AOC was established on 31 July 1937, and the vineyard is formed from two lieu-dits, “En la Chapelle” and “Les Gémeaux,” sited just below Clos de Bèze with notably sparse topsoil, a factor often cited as beneficial in cooler or wetter conditions.

The domaine’s story is well documented. The Dugat family has been in Gevrey since the 19th century. Claude Dugat took control in 1991, and from the 2015 vintage the estate has been run by his children Bertrand, Laetitia, and Jeanne. In the cellar and vineyard, the house style is defined more by method than by marketing: the estate is described as farmed “organically and biodynamically,” with an approach that restricts sulfur while avoiding chaptalization and acidification. Martine’s Wines is cited as the exclusive U.S. importer.

Winemaking details reported for the domaine include “100% destemming,” fermentation in “concrete tanks,” and “gentle punch downs twice a day,” with élevage in barrel—“all barrels from François Frères”—and a “fair amount of new oak,” though sources also note that overt new-oak character is “rarely evident.”

On critical reception, there are no published 2022 tasting notes or scores in the material provided, so there are no “excellent reviews” to quote or highlight for this vintage at this time. The case for the wine rests instead on the Grand Cru site, the domaine’s tightly defined farming and élevage choices, and its longstanding standing in Gevrey-Chambertin.
