I’m finished paying Dujac prices but it’s great to have experience with this producer. Lots of balance with terroir intact and full on pleasure. Very Morey as well with a Smokey inflection like Gevrey but with a lift and freshness I come to expect from morey red. Concentrated in a very perfected way. Not complicated as I wondered it might be having some crazy village wine experiences from Dujac, but I’m really thinking of the ‘09 chambolle I just can’t seem to find anywhere anymore.

Pop and pour. In an excellent place. On the nose: blood orange, roses, menthol, glossy red cherry. Still somewhat primary. Good density and acidity; hi-toned red fruit, with some dried fruit and leather inflection. More soft herbs on the softly tannic finish. Yum! — 2 years ago
Generally would agree that this wine doesn’t come off with a lot of classic umph that one might expect from 1er Cru but the 1er Cru terroir of chassagne is there undoubtedly and this does give way to the classic opinion that Puligny is usually more overtly pleasurable than Chassagne. It is complicated by mineral with a nice tropical inflection and a subtle energy but it is not explosive. I enjoyed this with many different good foods and had a lovely time as always with a noble Chardonnay like this. Enjoyable and delicious and evolved nicely over 3 days with sushi, noodles, pork, and lots of vegetables. — 4 years ago

Silken and transparent. Red berried, delicately herbal and precise; like a super mineral cru Beaujolais, with a northern Italian inflection. — a month ago
