| Community Tasting Notes (average 95.8 pts. and median of 96 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by KoalaHK on 4/30/2019: Drunk at Petrus Restaurant at the Island Shangri La Hotel Hong Kong - a most beautiful and elegant example of how great Burgundy can be. A sparkling brightness in the glass that almost always foreshadows a wine in immaculate condition. The colour had a ruby translucence that mature pinot noir can exhibit but with almost no bricking. Typical Dujac stems on the nose but completely integrated on the palate and with absolutely no overbearing greenness. Mature Dujac doesn't get better than this. (1216 views) | | | Tasted by tinybubbles on 5/12/2017 & rated 97 points: Elegant nose. More depth and presence on the palate than the CSD. 97-98 (1770 views) | | | Tasted by The Vines That Bind on 5/12/2017 & rated 97 points: World's Greatest - Night II (Daniel): Fresh, stalky, bright red cherry. Highly expressive and very pretty. Sweeter red cherry fruit on the front palate that expands into a developed mouthful. Spent coffee grounds. The Dujacs tonight are certainly the most consistent across vineyards, and are all gorgeously perfumed and finessed. (2858 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 1/14/2017: POB gala dinner: very generous from the pob owner Muti. The cork was broken into pieces upon opening. The nose is secondary with sous bois, plums and blood. Palate is over the peak with mostly secondary elements. The wine is not as fresh as I want it to be (2069 views) | | | Tasted by William Kelley on 5/7/2015 & rated 94 points: Jeremy Seysses opined that the 1978 Dujac Clos de la Roche is probably just beginning to pass its apogee, but it clearly attained considerable heights, because it remains a very formidable bottle of red Burgundy. A fully mature and expressive nose includes notes of autumn leaves, roast squab, subtle leather bitter chocolate, dried fruit and black tea—a melange of kaleidoscopic complexity. On the palate the wine is full, ripe and intense, with a bright core of acidity and a long, gamey finish. While this is now decidedly tertiary, Jeremy mentioned that until very recently it had retained vivid dark fruit, which must have made for a pretty extraordinary wine! (4156 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 5/3/2012 & rated 95 points: Great complexity and a super attack, deep and rich wine. Bacon and steel on the nose. The nose is substantially better than the palate - 97 points for the nose while the palate comes in at 94 points. (3608 views) | | | Tasted by Rupert on 3/12/2012: Burgundy lunch to cheer up Keith (La Trompette, Chiswick, London): This too very fresh, a sweet core, but lifted with spice and pickle aromas, long and penetrating (3457 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
