The 2023 La Gibryotte Bourgogne Rouge by Claude Dugat is the négociant label of the Dugat family, offering an approachable introduction to the house style while maintaining the precision and elegance for which the domaine is renowned. Sourced from vineyards around Gevrey-Chambertin and crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as the estate wines, this Bourgogne Rouge punches well above its appellation, delivering impressive purity, freshness and finesse.
The nose is vibrant and expressive, revealing aromas of fresh red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry, accented by subtle notes of violet, liquorice, gentle spice and a touch of crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with juicy red berry fruit, lively acidity and fine, silky tannins. A delicate mineral thread and savoury nuance provide depth and complexity, while the finish is clean, energetic and refreshing, highlighting the elegance of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits.
Delicious in its youth, the 2023 also has the balance to evolve over the next five to eight years. Enjoy from 2026–2033 as it develops additional earthy and floral complexity. It pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck confit, grilled pork, mushroom risotto and soft-ripened cheeses, making it an exceptionally versatile Burgundy for the table.
