| Community Tasting Notes (average 96.2 pts. and median of 96 pts. in 18 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by wxs2102 on 4/20/2024 & rated 94 points: Fantastic wine, big, fruity and earthy plus an incredible perfume - unfortunately it was up against absolute beasts on a night with multiple CLBs and 90s Engel CDV/Fourrier CSJ and shook out at average instead of WOTN which it would have been on almost any other night. (296 views) | | | Tasted by Biskuit on 4/16/2024: Night of Dujac (will hopefully update note) (339 views) | | | Tasted by Beeck10 on 5/10/2023 & rated 99 points: pfff what a wine , I had never tasted this one before, first in the nose it had no aging , nothing !! well balanced , sweet and spicy but very net ! still a lot's fruit and black berry, vanilla a crystal clear nose and a beautiful color, but the pallet bwhaa, it is as straight as a rail road , no bumps not in the beginning and not in the end, what a perfect acidity, still long and beautiful , but overall , it's the balance between the nose and the mouth that is so great about this wine , such a finesse, I loved it , bravo. It is clearly a expensive bottle but is a exceptional wine, hope to drink it one day again. (1492 views) | | | Tasted by aquacongas on 2/3/2023 & rated 98 points: blind
I had no idea of site and domain but I loved this wine. It was side by side with Leroy Nuits St Georges 2005. Very interesting flight but I would go narrowly with the Dujac. Violet, tar, dried strawberries. Balanced, still young. 97-98 (1853 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 3/8/2022: This was stunningly sexy six to eight years ago. It's now showing a touch of the '05 vintage along with it's sexiness. Very good, but I'd cellar these for another five to ten years. (2081 views) | | | Tasted by Topper on 2/1/2022 & rated 96 points: Really delicious wine that really has to be sipped over time. Easily outperformed the estate's Clos de la Roche from the same year that was tasted alongside. As they say, the town wasn't named Morey de la Roche. Big, energetic, with red fruit grounded by a hint of earth and licorice. So complex without being understated. I would buy more of this. (1949 views) | | | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 9/7/2021: definitely overpriced (2361 views) | | | Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 7/4/2020: Lovely wine despite obnoxious price tag. Still a bit young. Concentration and focus is out of this world. (2844 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 3/7/2020 & rated 96 points: La Paulee 2020 - Gala Dinner (Pier 60): So complete, so much spice at its core, so big. Just a wow wine, and the vintage is surprisingly drinking well. 96+ (3091 views) | | | Tasted by burgcamel on 12/5/2018 & rated 97 points: For its young age it's showing beautifully. A nice combination of fruit, earth and spice. A lush and lingering finish. Very enjoyable now but in 5 years it should really be exceptional. (3008 views) | | | Tasted by MattLA on 12/4/2018 & rated 97 points: Wow is the first thing I said upon my first sniff. This is rich and opulent without being heavy. It will age for a long time but it's already unreal. Killer fruit and totally in balance. (2704 views) | | | Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 3/10/2018 & rated 96 points: Some Top Shelf Burgs (My home): The two Dujacs were the top two wines and this just missed being WOTN. I suppose since I brought this it was my vote that made it #2. :-) No matter. A wow wine and the second best red Burg I have ever had. The bottle was opened 12 hours ahead of time and decanted for 4 hours before being decanted back into the bottle prior to serving. It certainly could have used more year or better yet cellaring, but was just lovely this night. Inky purple in color. The nose has spice, sandalwood, dark cherries, some red cherries and hints of earth. On the palate, the texture is simply wonderful. It coats the mouth as you have an internal struggle between swishing and swallowing the deliciousness. Plenty of fruit, black and red cherries with layers of spice and earth. Great balance. Long finish. Medium tannins. Just fantastic. (4172 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 12/15/2016: DP, some nice white burgs, DRC GE, and 05 Dujac reds.: I've had this three times in 2016, and each prior time it was simply outstanding. Tonight it was good, but didn't deliver that same sexy, silky experience. All bottles from the same case. This is a wine to enjoy early, and one modest bottle won't deter me from enjoying these young. (4107 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 1/14/2016: The Boys of Bedrock without Bedrock. BBM and Dujac Clos St. Denis; 1/11/2016-1/14/2016: Simply outstanding. Silky, sexy, and for me, a close to perfect wine. Gorgeous. (4455 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 1/12/2016: The Boys of Bedrock without Bedrock. BBM and Dujac Clos St. Denis; 1/11/2016-1/14/2016: A repeat of my experience from two years ago. Silky, beautiful juice, that's really very open for business. Class, class, class. Fortunately, I'll drink it twice this week, as we're having a Dujac Clos St Denis vertical on Thursday. (3786 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 6/3/2015 & rated 93 points: Decades of Decadence - x5s: Autumn leaves, smoke, cherry, spice and subtle sappiness laid throughout. Definitely shows both the fruit weight and the structure of the better 2005 Burgundy reds, it is full and long and it all works well together. Extremely enjoyable even now in its youth. (4092 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 6/28/2014 flawed bottle: HDH auction tasting at Tru; 6/27/2014-6/28/2014 (Chicago, IL): Depressingly, corked. (5122 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 1/9/2014: A stunningly beautiful wine. Sexy, silky. A contender for best of class for Dujac in 2005. Loved it. Seek this out. (3151 views) |

| Domaine Dujac Producer website
In 1967, he seized the opportunity to purchase the Domaine Graillet and renamed it Domaine Dujac. Trying to blend what he admired in traditional winemaking with modern techniques, Jacques went on to refine a style of his own. Although the first vintage made at Dujac (1968) is the worst known in the last forty years, the following vintage more than made up for this difficult start (1969 remains one of the most superb vintages made at Dujac).Pinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
