It is another stunning wine from San Giusto a Rentennano

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc

Closes sappy

A tang of tobacco lingers on the aftertaste

The Brunate is all about length

Claude Dugat, Charmes Chambertin other_regions_italy It is another stunning wine(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.
