Histoire du domaine
The Dugat family has been established in the Gevrey-Chambertin vineyards for several generations. Claude Dugat’s father, Maurice, acquired the former Cellier des Dîmes in 1956, a historic building in the village that became the centre of the family estate. Claude Dugat initially followed the family tradition of selling the harvest to wine merchants. At the turn of the 1990s, he began bottling and marketing the wines under his own name; the estate has generally operated in its current form since 1991. The vineyard covers approximately 6 hectares in Gevrey-Chambertin, including plots in Lavaux-Saint-Jacques, Charmes-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin and Griotte-Chambertin. Since the 2015 vintage, Claude Dugat’s children have taken over the running of the estate. Bertrand Dugat is responsible for cellar work and winemaking, whilst Laetitia Dugat is mainly involved in the vineyards; Jeanne Dugat also helps to manage the estate.
Charmes-Chambertin (Gevrey Chambertin)
Charmes-Chambertin is a red Grand Cru appellation and a physically demarcated terroir within the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, comprising the lieux-dits Aux Charmes and Mazoyères. The vineyard occupies a slight piedmont bench, between 260 and 280 meters in altitude, at the mouth of the Combe Grisard. Its shallow, carbonated and well-draining soils combine limestone gravel, clays and red silts; the parcels of Aux Charmes face mostly east to east-northeast, while Mazoyères is oriented more towards the south. The demarcated area of Mazoyères-Chambertin coincides with that of Charmes-Chambertin, the latter name being commonly claimed.

Histoire de la parcelle
The reputation of the climats Aux Charmes and Mazoyères is attested as early as the 18th century. In 1855, Jules Lavalle classified them partly as first cuvée and partly as second cuvée. A 1931 ruling by the Dijon court sanctioned the addition of the name Chambertin and established the boundaries of the appellation d'origine; the AOC Charmes-Chambertin was subsequently recognized by decree on July 31, 1937. The parcel area currently specified in the product specification cahier des charges was approved by the INAO on May 17 and 18, 1984.
