2002 Burgundy Dinner en flight with Rousseau CSJ, Roumier CM Les Cras
Decanted at 3:00 ... great fruited nose ... back in the bottle at 5:00 and off to dinner. By serving time this was aromatically ready to go, sweet red fruit, accompanied by a floral notes, whole cluster spice and hints of earth. Palate similar rich depth of fruit, solid lift and acidity, fine tannins, lovely texture and balance, lingering finish. Early maturity should get better over next 5-10 years while we wait for the CDLR and CSD to get to the same window.
Interesting line up, this was more “ready” for action than the darker deeper more serious CSJ and Les Cras .... a wonderful trio of 2002 Grand Crus... I almost forgot this trio was the set up for a magnificent 2002 DRC RSV talk about having it all, this will certainly be one of my top 5 wines of 2021

Flora nose with glossy fruit, violets, Dujac spice and stems. Round and sweet fruit fired up on the palate with a long finish. A complete Dujac that hits its early drinking window. 93+
