Bertrand Dugat compared the family's 2012s to its 2009s but although a number of the 2012s show very ripe aromas, I can't help but think that Bertrand's evolution to slightly earlier picking than his father Claude practiced has imbued the new set of wines with more energy than they might have had just a few years ago

Claude Dugat's 2012 are superb across the board. Dugat is quite and reserved, but with wines like this, well, they speak for themselves. Dugat gave the 2012s 15 days on the skins, with two punchdowns per day. The wines were racked in May 2013. These remain some of the deepest and most intense wines in Burgundy, but they are also much more polished than in the past. When Claude Dugat is on, the wines are absolutely stunning, which is certainly the case with the 2012s.

As Dugat's vineyard work gives him ripe fruit early, he tends to do best in cooler years, so it should hardly be surprising that he has excelled in both 2012 and 2011.In fact, Dugat told me that his wines "began petite in 2010, 2011 and 2012 but developed in a good sense during elevage."In contrast, he added, 2009 was good from the start.Little selection was required in 2012, with Dugat only eliminating some of the larger berries; he started harvesting on September 20.As a general rule, he chaptalized the 2012s about half a degree.Incidentally, Dugat told me that his 2011s were beginning to shut down in bottle.As is his habit, Dugat racked his 2012s in May, before a few of his wines had finished their malos.
