The palate is very firm

even tannins that come on late

this wine is a monument to what Champagne's grower revolution has achieved over the last 30 or so years

so I looked for it

Claude Dugat, Charmes Chambertin other_regions The palate is very firm(from a . 33 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines in Charmes proper). A fresh, pure and relatively hightoned nose of elegant red currant, soft spice, rose petal and an agreeably subtle hint of wood. The sense of refinement continues onto the equally pure and well detailed medium weight flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel, all wrapped in a solidly complex and persistent finish that is firm but not so much so that this could not be approached young.
