"It was very important to spend time in your vines in 2013," said Bernard Dugat. "Eliminating dried and rotten grapes was crucial, and that process started in the vineyard." He was able to begin harvesting relatively early, on September 28, due to the tiny crop, with potential alcohols generally between 12% and 12.2%; the bottled wines will be just under 13%. Dugat vinified most of his crus with at least 75% whole clusters. He is very high on this vintage, which he describes as "a bit rounder and more harmonious than the 2012s, with thicker skins. The 2012s are classic and very good but lack a bit of magic; 2013 is great." Dugat has used 100% François Frères barrels for the last 15 years. At the end of my tasting, Dugat told me that 1975 was the first vintage he declared, at age 17, which made the 2014 harvest his 40th.
