Decanted for a few hours. Ripe, black cherry infused nose that with air displays a deep stemmy/spicy enemy. Big and fairly burly palate for Chambolle, ripe fruit, some chalky soil and a long juicy finish. Comes across as more Gevrey than Chambolle, but well made and hedonistic if perhaps not the most elegant wine.

Pretty fabulous for a village level wine. Deep garnet color, aromatically open at this stage, with notes of dark fruits and cinnamon spice. All the power of the house style, combined with some detailed layers and enduring finish, great weight and polish makes this a formidable appellation wine. Bravo!
Super reductive at first. Needed a decant, but after 30-40 minutes it became lovely. Delicate and crystalline tart red fruits with plenty of Chambolle earthiness with an iron shavings streak running through the wine. Fine grained tannins and bright acidity give the wine a lovely structure. Delicious bottle.

Beautiful bottle. Hurts getting these reminders that I need to be buying more Dujac. Bright magenta color - what are they doing to Burgundies these days that makes them look like Beaujolais? Thankfully the resemblance ends with the physical appearance, though it is per usual redder and brighter in tone than the Morey. I usually like the Chambolle a notch or two better and so it is again here. Layers of velvety tannin give it ample muscle but a sense of refinement at the same time. The fruit is grounded on an earthy base that comes across gravelly and like the Morey it carries its oak much more subtly than is usually the case at this age.

Fantastic fruit and nice nose - tasty to drink now. Keeping this will be rewarding though as it matures and becomes a bit more complex.
