 Tasted by Biskuit on 4/16/2024: Night of Dujac (will hopefully update note) (150 views)
 Tasted by Sean Tay on 2/18/2024 & rated 93 points: Came too late into the dinner that I did not get enough volume for tasting note and already drank too much (344 views)
 Tasted by rocknroller on 10/12/2023 & rated 91 points: Jim & Michelene's 40th Anniversary Dinner (Jim and Michelene's Place, St. Paul, MN): Medium dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. Well this was quite a bit different from bottles a number of years ago, 2017 and 2015 specifically. This bottle for me was particularly herbaceous with a deep green streak that made it feel more youthful, but perhaps that perception was not reality. I'm not sure. There seemed to be lots of ripe fruit, a mix of tart raspberry more on the nose and pure cherry on the palate, texturally velvety, as Siggy noted lots of Nori notes too with stone minerality. This was showing notable vanilla on the palate and it was pretty full on powerful. If I'd never had this before, my impression was that this was younger than it is, but those other bottles didn't leave that impression. 91(+?)pts. (867 views)
 Tasted by Diane (LI) on 10/22/2022: Pretty, elegant, with mostly fading fruit, but it is still hanging on. Earthy and floral and a joy to drink. (1555 views)
 Tasted by WIBA on 9/18/2022 & rated 96 points: More flamboyant, prettier and more elegant than the clos st denis. Beautiful juicy and drinking now. Not sure if this will hold together though. (1473 views)
 Tasted by Chuck Miller on 5/17/2022: Very light and translucent in color with some bricking, several folks guessed Truchot in a blind tasting, Ready to drink, in fact, drink up. (1989 views)
 Tasted by chablis28 on 10/5/2021 & rated 95 points: My last btl on a great evening in at the legendary & "still bringing it", Dell Bar in the WI Dells. Originally, Jimmy's Dell Bar in the 50s/60s/70s. Ate here as kid with my mom & dad. Great memories. PnP on arrival in Burg glasses. Started drinking an hour later after apps with a Bollinger SC. Translucent crimson red with bricking. This is in a state of complete serenity. Resolved, placid burgundy heaven! Pervasive sniffs of sous bois & roses. Sips are lacy, ethereal, refined, classy and seamless. Tertiary earth, forest floor, mineral, mushroom and fading red fruit slowly reverberate in the mouth. This has arrived, delivering burgundy bliss! Perfect tonight with roast brick chicken. 13% alc I don't see this improving. Don't miss the performance before they close the curtain. Drink em if you got em. Loved this graceful soulful glass of Burgundy. Sort of reminds me of 25yr old Lopez Heredia Bosconia Gran Reserva. (2845 views)
 Tasted by Hanibal on 8/7/2021 & rated 95 points: 2007 that gave the 2009 and 2010 a run for their money. Very surprised but hey it is what is in the bottle. The most pale in color of the 4 vintages. Close to get settled in on its plateau. Seemed very open and did not need any coercing to provide its beautiful fresh flavors of roses, under brush but the least spice of the group. My co favorite with the 2009 (3251 views)
 Tasted by decaturwinedude on 7/14/2021 & rated 95 points: A Good Tuesday, Vol. V: '10 LdH Rosado, '20 D&R, '07 Dujac, '00 Hudelot, '93 & '01Sandrone (Aria): So very Dujac-y! Nose is full-on stemmy, sous bois, cherry, earth, tea and more. Spicy, seductive, sinewy. A modern polish, with Burgundian sensibilities. Acidity in harmony with fruit and earth tones. Terrific balance. Drinking very well. A gem of a wine. (2350 views)
 Tasted by etyc on 5/11/2021: Malconsorts theme’d dinner at IT-Shanghai (2308 views)
 Tasted by studleytrey on 5/6/2021 & rated 95 points: What we have here is a blend of "just drink that wine tonight" mixed with semi-late celebration of closing on our new house and move. I splurged a bit on this anniversary vintage at $140 "deal" price a few years back, which I believe was from a Last Bottle marathon, but I see it's going for ~$450–650 currently—yowza! Anyway, I have this box of premium wines I brought with me, and am in between on wine storage ATM, so let's drink one!

Well, it's drinking really well tonight, and I'm glad we opened it. Medium ruby to garnet with transparency. Aromas of red fruits, rose petal, violet, honeysuckle, potpourri, black tea, mushrooms, anise, and orange peel. Medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, and flavors of high toned red fruits like cherry and cranberry, black tea, lemon, orange peel, and minerals that linger on the finish. This is really nice. Not $400+ nice, but I'm not sure any bottle of wine is that for me personally. Great bottle though. 👌 (1780 views)
 Tasted by chablis28 on 1/13/2021 & rated 95 points: My 2nd of 3 and 4yrs since my last. Slow oxed in Burg glasses and btl for 2 hours prior to dinner. Semi translucent crimson red with bricking. This is in a state of resolved, placid burgundy heaven! Pervasive sniffs of sous bois and roses. Sips are elegant, ethereal, refined, classy and seamless. Tertiary earth, forest floor, mineral, mushroom and fading fruit slowly reverberate in the mouth. This has arrived and delivering burgundy bliss! Where a 2010 may take 20+yrs to get to this place, this 2007 is ready to go. I'll likely drink my last btl before 2025. Loved it tonight with pan seared tuna. Nita's & my 42nd Anni. Who gets married in January! In a 16" snow storm? Not my wife's idea! I've always been a slow learner. 13% alc. (2082 views)
 Tasted by BBBH on 2/17/2020 & rated 92 points: Delicious, delicate but with lovely depth. (2051 views)
 Tasted by BradE on 12/4/2019: From mag. Similar to most of my previous notes. A very lovely and approachable Malconsorts. I like this vintage of this wine. (2305 views)
 Tasted by fcxj on 9/18/2019 & rated 90 points: Creaminess that was tough to place. Didn't love this. (2355 views)
 Tasted by Raizes on 8/2/2019 & rated 93 points: 樱桃、草莓和水果硬糖,甘草、烟丝、湿地与菌菇,香气浓郁丰富,慷慨又有耐心。入口的感觉和闻香如出一辙,香气甚至更加集中。拥有良好的酸度和结构,但风格优雅温柔,展现了相当出色的酿造技艺,只是在持续力和回味上略微体现出了07年的年份不足。 (2230 views)
 Tasted by Jammy Wine on 5/30/2019 & rated 92 points: The 2007 Dujac Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts was a different kettle of fish in this flight. Tasted blind and everyone guessed it was a decade older than 2007. Maturing nose of clean forest floor, mild herbs and smooth cherries. Incredibly light and elegant with a candied scent. One of the most feminine wines of the evening. Georges Noellat Les Beaux Monts 1993? (92/100) (2412 views)
 Tasted by ashegedyn on 5/2/2019: Similar to previous note although I did not need to re calibrate my taste. (1986 views)
 Tasted by Burgnick on 1/25/2019 & rated 93 points: Floral on the nose with candied fruit, dujac spice and cinnamon. Palate was very transperent with weightless intensity. Despite the weak vintage, the wine had a very solid sweet fruit on the palate. For the 2007 dujac, the malconsort actually showed more intensity than his cdlr. But both of them were great. 93-94 (2339 views)
 Tasted by Mrbuzz on 1/21/2019 & rated 94 points: Subtlety and delicacy of the vintage...an amazing array of Vosne spice...cherry cordial...pretty perfume florals...a true pleasure! Jonelle's 50th. (2255 views)
 Tasted by BradE on 12/1/2018: From mag. I've always enjoyed this wine, and like many 07's it gives a lot of young-stage pleasure. (2146 views)
 Tasted by ashegedyn on 11/26/2018: So at first I thought it was a bit muted and perhaps damaged. This was simply that I needed to re-calibrate my senses to this wine. I have been drinking more up front and fruit forward Burgundy. This is different. It is subtle. The nose has hints of wild forest strawberries with hints of Vosne spice wafting from the bowl of the glass. They subtely assert themselves as you get used to the delicate and light notes from the wine. On taste you think the taste a bit muted - but this is because of the fine tannins overwhelming the front of the palate. The body is light and the taste lasts a long time. It is subtle and sublime. A great wine that needs quite a bit of time for the fine tannins to resolve. It is just unfurling a bit of its charm. (2051 views)
 Tasted by Nanda on 9/29/2018: In a bang up flight of 07 Cristom Eileen/07 Rhys Alpine/07 Dujac Malcansorts. This was aromatically a bit shy but oh so ethereal on the palate. Amazing flavor and spice lift, in a weightless body. Three terrific wines. (2193 views)
 Tasted by cfk49 on 8/11/2018 & rated 90 points: There's dark fruits and a bit of spice here, but the wine lacks real breadth and depth that one expects from this vineyard. Too early to drink? Picked too early? Cellared since original release. (2280 views)
 Tasted by MonkeyBiz101 on 8/3/2017 & rated 92 points: Very balanced. (3360 views)

Domaine Dujac

Producer website

In 1967, he seized the opportunity to purchase the Domaine Graillet and renamed it Domaine Dujac. Trying to blend what he admired in traditional winemaking with modern techniques, Jacques went on to refine a style of his own. Although the first vintage made at Dujac (1968) is the worst known in the last forty years, the following vintage more than made up for this difficult start (1969 remains one of the most superb vintages made at Dujac).

Pinot Noir

Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.


Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.

Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.

The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.

Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.

In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.

With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.

Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio

Côte de Nuits

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

Vosne Romanée is one of the smallest wine villages in Burgundy The wines possess diverse characteristics, but they can generally considered to have complexity and longevity beyond nearly all other wines in the world. The village has six grand crus: Romanée-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, and La Grande Rue. While there is monopoly control of four of the six grand crus, the village has at least forty growers sharing its vineyards. The top premier cru includes Les Malconsorts, Cros Parantoux, Les Chaumes, and Clos des Réas.
