Community Tasting Notes (average 90.7 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 67 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by acyso on 2/19/2024 & rated 90 points: Monday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): Served double blind. Clearly red Burgundy, but I thought it was maybe a decade or so older (2001?). High acidity and some delicate red fruit, with a grainy earthiness to its tannins. I didn't really pick up the spice here, so missed the Dujac call. Whoops. (1105 views)
 Tasted by wineton.mee on 2/13/2024 & rated 92 points: Dujac through and through. Excellent bouquet with some strawberries, red berries fruit basket, roses, spicy mint. On the palate, it's mineral and has that orange bitter finish which may come across as a touch thin and edgy. Nose > palate for me today, and mightily enjoyable for a bottle of this level. (722 views)
 Tasted by wine.chung on 1/1/2024 & rated 88 points: Good but lacking in any concentration, possibly an advanced bottle (773 views)
 Tasted by nadecesse on 12/26/2023 & rated 91 points: Parfum, finesse et équilibre sans jamais être facile grâce à la structure du millésime, l'un de mes favoris chez Dujac... impatient de goûter Aux Malconsorts. 91-92 (810 views)
 Tasted by melvinyeowq on 12/15/2023 & rated 92 points: Burgundy village theme: My contribution. Most guessed ‘07/08 Chambolle. Pretty floral nose, but a little thin and dilute on the palate. Some delicate red fruit emerged with air but not sure if this will put on weight with more bottle age. (1103 views)
 Tasted by Throughthegrapevine on 7/21/2023 & rated 90 points: Opened up reluctantly - initially some earthiness. Turned into a delicious, juicy, MSD leaning to the Chambolle side (1264 views)
 Tasted by chbeaumont on 4/7/2023 & rated 91 points: Advanced colour shows maturity; evocative nose, sous bois & briary, soft red fruits; palate has a velvety texture, with a dry earthy edge, easy going acidity, mid-weight; (later) tetchy finish (ameliorated by pigeon). Best drunk soon. (1407 views)
 Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 3/31/2023: It breathed up beautifully in a larger bowled glass to show notes of blueberry, cherry, musk and violets. It was supremely silky, with fine, minerally bones. The finish was fresh with some mild spice. Beautifully proportioned and balance. (1509 views)
 Tasted by aagrawal on 2/13/2023 & rated 91 points: Dinner with the wine group (Zazie's, San Francisco): Exceptional nose, stemmy, spices, a bit darker fruit; medium bodied, high acidity, plummy and deeper fruit, superb balance, tons of spice and character; medium-long finish. Very nice! 91+ (1859 views)
 Tasted by similia on 1/23/2022 flawed bottle: Sadly corked 😢 (2474 views)
 Tasted by pclin on 10/2/2021 & rated 92 points: Coravined. Similar to previous notes, this is drinking well at the moment. Floral and expressive nose, wide open now. Continues to add weight and complexity over the years, no different from a lot of 1er Crus out there. Inner mouth perfumed and lingering spices on the finish, very very nice. Showing even better than previous experiences. Over-achiever for an average vintage. (2554 views)
 Tasted by DCornutt on 6/23/2021: Best bottle to date. This is really starting to show aromatically. So sexy. The palate is beautifully put together. Better than village. (2692 views)
 Tasted by Thomas123 on 3/27/2021 & rated 91 points: Hard to believe this is village burgundy. Deep and rather dark fruit. Elegant and velvety on the palate. Broad and with a nice, long aftertaste. Really beautiful. Drinking nicely now and over the next 3-5 years. (2481 views)
 Tasted by angryphoton on 2/21/2021 & rated 91 points: Classic Dujac nose of stems, spice and red and blue fruit. Still a bit young but offers a good amount of pleasure. Good structure and acidity makes this a very good food wine, with time I believe this will soften and give way to a more balanced wine. Punches above it class, 1er cru material here. (1941 views)
 Tasted by nphase on 10/14/2020 flawed bottle: corked (2424 views)
 Tasted by pclin on 10/12/2020 & rated 91 points: PnP. ABV 13%.
Explosive floral nose with some dark soil too, very nice. Bright acidity, fine tannins and approachable now. Pretty good concentration and length for a village, probably have put on weight over the years. Good balance with no trace of alcohol. Finished with old barrel spices, that’s nice. Wide open and enjoyable now. Love this bottling from Dujac, pretty much punches above its weight every vintage. (2358 views)
 Tasted by Claret & CdP Gang on 7/14/2020: Sushi/sashimi omakase lunch, opened 1.5 hours, light translucent reddish pink, crushed rocks, cherries, lovely Burg, Dujac showing its pedigree (2379 views)
 Tasted by _water.into.wine_ on 7/14/2020 & rated 94 points: Just a lovely wine. Lively and vibrant. Drinking so well. Crisp, fresh with lovely acidity. Fresh cherries and red fruits. Perfect drinking stage. Shared by KB (2065 views)
 Tasted by nadecesse on 5/18/2020 & rated 91 points: Nez qui possède une belle présence sur les fruits rouges sombres avec des notes terreuses et musquées. Bouche précise et concentrée pour un village, douce en texture mais intense. Une vraie belle bouteille. 91 (2480 views)
 Tasted by clarktoews on 5/4/2020 & rated 93 points: Fantastic! Nice was so fresh and bright with fruit. Colour was a mice medium ruby. Great weight and finish. (2131 views)
 Tasted by acyso on 3/7/2020: Tasted while suffering from a cold. Even sick, the spice comes through. Red fruit and a bit of that stemmy spice. Not the densest palate but a good mix of spice and red fruit here. (3453 views)
 Tasted by clarktoews on 11/23/2019 & rated 91 points: Solid village wine. Should improve over the next 5yrs (2065 views)
 Tasted by Claret & CdP Gang on 10/5/2019: Decanted for 45min, what a lovely wine, great purity & elegance, good for its level
90 (2182 views)
 Tasted by rikipedia on 8/5/2019 & rated 91 points: Terroir-istes International - France, Burgundy, Morey St Denis (Bishopscourt): (Tasted Blind): A light to mid ruby colour with notes of red and black fruits and some pepper stemmy edges. Fairly ripe, The black fruits become more prominent as the wine evolves in the glass.
Mirrors the palate with the richness of texture nicely balanced with lively zesty acidity and notes of liquorice, sweet cherry moving to candy floss, adding a sucrose quality. The tannins are still firm and spice-edged with those stem-my characters. Nicely made, there is some elegance but also a wide palate width. A little tight at the moment, it closes with some cola tonic, toast and an impressive length. Real potential here. (606 views)
 Tasted by Paul S on 6/27/2019 & rated 92 points: Bourgogne and Village Dinner (Tonny Restaurant, Geylang Lor 3, Singapore): Better and surprisingly more developed than the last bottle I had a few months back - this was a lovely little Morey village. It had beautiful young Burg aromas of sweet red cherries and blue berries on the nose, just edged with a bit of candy maybe, but also with nice touches of earth, bramble and Morey spice. It would have been an amazing bouquet if not for the slight distraction of new-oak induced sweet vanilla tones. Still very nice though. The palate also had a touch of that new oak on it, but that aside it showed beautiful balance and polish in its sweet notes of blueberries and dark cherries, with shades of earth and spice lingering into long, beautiful finish. Still a bit primary, this needs time - maybe another 4-5 years at least - before it really hits its stride; but this was a very classy, very Dujac wine - all supremely integrated and velvety and delicious even now.

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.

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

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

Côte de Nuits

on weinlagen.info

Morey St. Denis

Located in the Côte de Nuits, the wines of Morey St. Denis are often overshadowed by its neighbors; Gevrey-Chambertin to its north and Chambolle-Musigny to the south. But the wines in fact may be a middle ground between the two; rich, fruity, yet structured and tart, with just a touch of the barnyard. It is home to four Grand Crus in their entirety and a small portion of a fifth. The westernmost stripe, highest on the slope, contains its Grand Cru vineyards, which include such well-known names as Bonnes Marres, Clos de la Roche and Clos de Tart. The middle ground, in elevation and in reputation, houses most of Morey's Premier Cru vineyards. Because its vineyards (largely excepting the Grand Crus) are not as well-known, prices remain relatively reasonable considering the quality in the bottles.
