Tasted double blind, correctly identified as Grand Cru from 2000 or 2001, both vintages showing their age. I thought this Gevrey, and the Dujac whole cluster really wasn't coming through. I did really like the density and balance here, but Dujac's 2001 magic didn't quite come through. But I always find their Clos St Denis doesn't have nearly the longevity as their other Grand Crus.

5 of 12 paired with 2008 Dujac Echezeaux… decanted at 3:00 served at 7:30…. Darker and more youthful color than the Echezeaux, tightly wound nose of black cherry fruit with baking spice. Layered dense red fruit, rich satiny texture, fine grained tannins, persistent finish. A remarkably youthful 23 year old GC still 5-10 years from full maturity. This is what great burgundy is all about bravo

Dujac evening with friends - lucky enough to get this en magnum and side by side the splendid 02 CSD (standard bottle) what a pair. The 02 initially clearly showing better but when given a decant the 01 caught up rapidly to remain just a whisker behind the 02. Very fine boned, mineral, precise and fresh with long midpalate on a slightly grippy finish. A real treat and long life ahead. 96+

A lovely bottle of this which is still rather firmly structured but with time in the glass it becomes really elegant and complex with notes of wild cherries, blueberries and a touch of charred barrel. The finish is fabulously complex with an array of spices and minerals. Not a broad wine but a very fine one with plenty of gas left in the tank.

Delicious, drinking really well with our roast chicken. Very smooth, floral, pinot noir on steroids, long, impressive.
