Bernard Dugat has had a great vintage in 2002.In fact, he told me, the only problem with 2002 is that the vintage is too good and that people will drink the wines too early.Along with his friend Denis Mortet, Dugat started harvesting his Charmes-Chambertin on September 16, two days before the official beginning of the harvest on the Cote de Nuits, with special permission from the wine authorities.With his tiny yields, Dugat explained, the fruit was already at optimum ripeness, and waiting longer would only have compromised the wine's eventual balance.In fact, the noble tannins in these 2002s bear out Dugat's picking strategy.Dugat drops less-good fruit at several stages through the summer, and thus needed to eliminate less than 5% of his grapes at harvest-time.(Weygandt-Metzler Importing, Unionville PA

Bernard Dugat, who made spectacular wines in both 2001 and 2000, told me that vintage 2001 featured riper skins than 2000 but somewhat lower grape sugars: typically 12.2% to 12.4%, vs. 13% the previous year. Dugat's yields are among the lowest on the Cote de Nuits, and his tireless work in the vines has enabled him to shorten his cuvaisons and reduce his extraction and punchdowns since 1999. He purchased a new pneumatic press for the 2001 harvest, and he believes the gentler press has given the 2001 tannins more finesse. Once Dugat's grapes are in the cuves the wines are never pumped. But Dugat noted that some Burgundies that are tired from harsh handling actually taste better early "because their structure has been broken." All of the 2001s noted below were aging in 100% new barrels in November. Dugat told me his wines are better in the bottle than they are when tasted from barrel due to his very gentle bottling and low levels of free sulfur.
