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
