| Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 107 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by dream on 4/20/2024 & rated 95 points: A beautiful vintage for this wine and while it's a bit leaner than the '99 drunk the night before, the still succulent blue/cherry fruit is fabulous and the acidic verve is perfectly judged. The taut finish shows really top-notch complexity with notes of stems, minerals and dark cherry spice. Ready for sure but will hold. (241 views) | | | Tasted by LLouis on 3/17/2024 & rated 95 points: opened 2,5hr before, at first nice nose and complex layers of dry flowers; pure balck fruit with chinese herbs finish (347 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 1/10/2024 & rated 96 points: Autumnal floral aromatics. Freshens, gains clarity over time. Compact, balanced palate. (657 views) | | | Tasted by hprphf on 11/16/2023 & rated 94 points: Premier Cru Table (The Fifth Avenue Hotel): Resolved showing great red fruit aromatics. Super lovely. 94 (955 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 11/8/2023 & rated 96 points: Cherry soda aromatics. Serene, red fruited. (1007 views) | | | Tasted by fcxj on 9/22/2023 & rated 96 points: Reductive and floral, stemmy feel. Balanced, sweet palate. (1064 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 6/18/2023: Complex and fine, starting to drink really well. There’s some pine needle sap, earth and cherry. It is silky of texture. It builds and has sneaky power and length. Lovely balance. (1220 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 12/6/2022 & rated 96 points: Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. From Jero. Still a bit closed. Elegant, light, fragrant. (2081 views) | | | Tasted by cfk49 on 11/22/2022 & rated 94 points: Still some reduction in the nose, even after sitting in the decanter for some time. But nevertheless a captivating wine with minerality, lightness, and energy -- in short a fine example of Clos de la Roche just now entering its secondary phase. Should be even better in the future. Cellared since original release. (1417 views) | | | Tasted by johnh1001 on 11/20/2022 & rated 92 points: Subtle red spice and an interesting spearmint note on the nose. Lean but well balanced on the palate. This is enjoyable but not as exciting as I would have thought. (1443 views) | | | Tasted by englishman's claret on 7/29/2022 & rated 95 points: Pretty raspberry, star anise, fresh yet with developing tertiary nuance. (2855 views) | | | Tasted by GTFreek on 2/3/2022: Floored how young this drank. Would have guessed 2015 or so. Beautiful stem notes, spice, light fruit. Not as complex as expected, but very elegant style. (1981 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 1/30/2022 & rated 94 points: Versus the Leroy, this has more finesse but less density and umph. (1512 views) | | | Tasted by lepetitchateau on 12/24/2021 & rated 95 points: Interesting how the 2001 vintage fluctuates between tender, high-toned elegance and denser elements… this bottle showed more of the tender qualities. (1699 views) | | | Tasted by godx on 7/16/2021 flawed bottle: Corked. (2064 views) | | | Tasted by The Vines That Bind on 7/16/2021 flawed bottle: Corked. (2138 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 6/19/2021 & rated 93 points: The Roots Fund Grand Cru Charity Dinner (Home): 96/99/00/01/08. Not as thrilling as a bottle from the same batch 1+ years ago. This has all the classic Dujac grand cru elements with plenty of spice, stem and pure fruits but just a little reserved, at least on a relative basis. (2043 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/19/2021 & rated 92 points: The Roots Fund Charity Grand Cru Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): In vertical. Nicely spiced with bright red fruit in a leaner style vs the 1999 and 2000, but very good length, even if ending ever-so-slightly more firmly than would be ideal. (2387 views) | | | Tasted by Jeremy Holmes on 5/10/2021: Quite meaty and dark with some sauvage notes. There’s floral spice and some pine needle action. It has a core of black cherry and still ample structure. (1943 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 3/12/2021 & rated 97 points: Tasted blind, served as a pair with the CSD. Here it is, the million dollar Dujac whole cluster nose. I guessed the producer right, but could say which one was the CDR/CSD. The CSD had a cloudy color with camphor and damp forest floor elements while the CDR was bright and shiny, lots of sour cherry intermixed with cured meat and stemmy elements. Both were very grand, very much in the house style. (2777 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 3/7/2020 & rated 98 points: La Paulée de NY Gala Dinner (Pier 60 - NYC): Gorgeous, lifted nose has intense stem notes layered into cherry and earth. Youthfully rich and fresh with Grand Cru concentration. Great vintage for Domaine Dujac. (2847 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/7/2020 & rated 92 points: La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Very attractive combination of red cherry and berry, sweet spice, earth and leather. Not the most powerful example of Clos de la Roche with good length. (3320 views) | | | Tasted by ricknat1 on 2/22/2020 flawed bottle: Corked (2151 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 2/8/2020: Acker 200; 2/7/2020-2/8/2020 (The Pool & Cipriani): I don't really like Burgundy in general although every so often you get one of those ones where the fruit is still there and there's a certain ethereal quality to it and I feel a bit like 'I get it'. This was in that style. Very pretty in nature. Darker red fruits. Good age and I'm not sure it has the chops to go for lots more years without losing some of the pretty fruit although prob a few more just to refine the edges. Enjoyable. (2506 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 2/7/2020 & rated 91 points: Wines for the Acker Merrall Bicentennial Auction (The Pool - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Equal amount of red fruit, spice and earth with great textures. Grand Cru density. But firm finish. Upside?

| 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
