The most serious of the Dujac beaux monts flight. Alcoholic kick can be felt and the most restrained nose. This will show better maybe in a few years. Palate was very Dujac. Roses, stems and spice.

Discrete nose, red fruit, some whole cluster, earthy elements, not very expressive. Good balance, nice structure but the wine was not yet singing tonight. Wait till after 2027 with this.

Still a baby and needed some time to open up in the decanter, and could have used even more decanting for my palate. But a lovely wine nonetheless, a real treat and great to compare to the 2002 Clavelier from the same vineyard. This is drinking young but wonderful fruit and complexity. Another great pairing with mushroom risotto and duck!

Side by side 2010 Dujac Vosne Beaux Monts and 2010 Meo Camuzet Vosne Brulees. Both represented themselves well, though both will be better in 5-10 more years. It was a good comparison of both the terroir of the two vineyards as well as the style of the producer. The Beaux Monts was more delicate, almost lacy but with ample red fruit flavor along with lift from he Dujac stems. The Brûlées was more concentrated, darker in color, more brooding black fruit but terrifically well done wine. Some of the 9 people at the table preferred one or the other, mostly based on palate profile as both were really good wines and both showed well. My personal preference was the Brûlées but I tend to prefer slightly richer and darker-fruited burgundies. The Brûlées, however, may take even longer to fully mature than the Beaux Monts.

I tend to avoid 2009 and 2010 Dujac wines in general as I have had too many over-extracted wines from them in those 2 vintages. First bottle was corked and the second bottle was fine but not the usual attractive Dujac. Tasted blind – Dark and concentrated array of blackberries, dark chocolate, and exotics spices. Quite bulky and savoury. Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts? (87/100)
