This is a beautifully subtle and elegant Burgundy with delicious blue-cherry fruit and a taut nature. Perfumed and understated and close to maturity which is surprising even from this very fresh bottle. A lighter style than I expected.

Day 1 - PnP... nose reduced. A bit medicinal red licorice, eucalyptus, and crayon or something.... extremely well balanced. Red cherry long-ish finish with some steaminess, wood and Ludens cough drop.... most enjoyable, but another 3-5 will probably make this even better.

Friday Night Burgs (Margeaux Brasserie): Precisely what you want from young Dujac Gevrey in a great vintage. So much stem, spice and meat in the aromas and infused with the cherry flavors on the palate. Excellent concentration and good integration with structure already. Drinking well, but the best is yet to come. Much more open that a 2010 Dujac MSD 1er tasted not too long ago.

Burgundies at Margeaux Brasserie (Chicago, IL): I love the nose here. It's very Dujac with its spice, but then you get more of an earthy tone, presumably from the Gevrey. This has got some really nice raw power, and while it's far from being mature, this is quite accessible right now. The same spiciness/earth combo on the nose also shows up on the palate, but the palate does feel a touch thin relative to that super expressive nose.

Faded orange-red colour. Lovely wood-varnish/new-car-smell upfront. Bit of that aldehyde/nutty character in there too. Looks a little more mature to me. Some oxidation? Not ruined by it, but just looks very mature. Has that porty vibe to it, with a dried flower, mushroomy, earthy fragrance. Elegant, lighter-feeling palate with elevated acidity. Tannins feel quite resolved. Don't think this bottle was quite right but I liked it anyway. I feel like that shows the strength of the vintage in a weird way.

Stunning. Pure, bright, cool-inflected cherry fruit framed by fine minerals and an alluring spice. Not a powerhouse but the balance is superb. Highly drinkable and gone in a flash. Prototypically 2010 in the best possible way.

La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion - New York NY): Tasting. Starts with robust black fruit, modest spice, lots of meaty Gevrey character, slightly backward right now. Palate is somewhat more intriguing, with that same dense black fruit, but very nuanced, energetic textures. Good spice middle to finish. A very impressive vintage for this wine.

La Paulée de New York 2013 Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion, New York): Lost my notes on the Dujac wines, but these were not showing well, with the exception of the Clos de la Roche. Tried the Chambolle (negoce), Morey, Gevery Combottes, and Roche. They seemed clumsy and disjointed (except the Roche), and I have to think they're just in a strange place right now. To retry.

France 2012 - Côte d'Or; 7/16/2012-7/21/2012 (Beaune): Tasted at the Domaine. From 375ml. Darker fruit on the nose compared to the Malconsorts with dark pinot and cherry fruit and hints of violets. Not as silky in the mouth and has a little bit of rusticity going along with a good dose of minerality too. Drier tannins with good length. This will need 7-10 years. Excellent. 91+

Pretty disappointing showing. Felt bit pruney.

Fairly dark fruited profile that doesn’t reflect Dujac. Also heat affected.

Gevrey: Combottes 1er Cru and Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru (Chicago + Zoom): 09/10 pair. Very big, rich and dense aromatics of sweet black cherry with savory spice. More ripe and rich and less nuanced than the 2010 today but it's stuffed with potential. Lots of upside from here.

Gevrey-Chambertin Neighbors: Combottes 1er Cru and Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru (Chicagoland IL): Alongside the flashier 2009. Intriguing combination of ripe and tart with less whole cluster notes than typical for Dujac, but still spicy, floral, and textured in a very inviting manner. Very good now, maybe some upside.

Working wine wine Seminar two Burgundy, Beguiling, Bewildering and Beautiful (Est. Restaurant, George Street, Sydney): Very slight stalks here, black hued fruit, sweet spice, a little cream, something pretty and confected that helps the nose to the more beguiling space. Juicy acid on the palate with plenty of spice, muted black fruits, tight talc textured tannins, slight dried orange and orchard fruit note as well on the finish.

2013 La Paulee, New York; 3/12/2013-3/14/2013: Medium cherry, fruit a bit hidden by stems and spice, should be very good with time.

Focus on 2010 Burgundy- The 2013 La Paulee Grand Tasting (Metropolitan Pavilion, New York): Ripe, berry like, mostly red fruit and earth. Lighter, feminine style, but I was surprised that it did not eclipse the stuffing of the 2 village wines by a wider margin. Yes, it has more incipient complexity but not enough to justify the significantly higher price.

La Paulée de New York 2013 (Metropolitan Pavilion, NYC): Here, finally, is a more noble wine. Biting tannin and minerality, but very, very nice....this needs a while to be less cranky but is a definite buy.

A Brief Visit to Domain Dujac (Morey St. Denis): Barrel. Lighter color than village Morey. More soil, and earth too, but again, very pretty light fruit. Not clearly better.
