The 2018 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with aromas of cherries, raspberries and rose petals, framed by a deft touch of new oak, and on the palate it's more reserved than the Charmes at this early stage. Medium to full-bodied, deep and elegantly structural, it's lively and nicely defined, but it will need a bit more time than the Charmes to come around. As readers will remember, Dugat's vines in Chapelle-Chambertin are located in lieu-dit Les Gémeaux, a site that tends to produce somewhat more structured wines than adjacent lieu-dit La Chapelle.
