| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.8 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 42 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Biskuit on 4/16/2024: Night of Dujac (will hopefully update note) (352 views) | | | Tasted by dream on 1/17/2024: Unlike the last bottle, this was too reduced and never came around. (788 views) | | | Tasted by melvinyeowq on 9/30/2023 & rated 95 points: Tokyo wines; 9/29/2023-10/2/2023: Dujac GCs have been on my bucket list - wanted to take the 06 CSD but unfortunately it wasn’t available, so I took this instead. Thankfully it was showing brilliantly, surprisingly approachable and firmly was in its drinking window. Despite not being as Dujac as expected, it was a stunning wine. Glorious red-fruited notes, instead of the blue that I expected. Very attractive and integrated at this stage, not tannic and stemmy at all. Fresh pour had more overt fruit but tightened up and ‘08 acidity showed a little with time in the glass. Incredibly seamless wine, supremely balanced without anything out of place. (1412 views) | | | Tasted by RobinTeo on 9/22/2023 & rated 95 points: The one with MSD + Bonnes Mares (Chapter 1 Wine Bar): Not quite the classic Dujac bouquet yet brimming of elegance amidst high toned aromatics, violets and pomegranate. Mulberry, cherries and raspberry dominate the front of the palate while a robust and sturdy flex of the CDLR muscles of power and density ensues. On the finish, lovely supporting cast of earthy undertones and good acidity with tannins integrating really nicely. Definitely amongst the top 2 or 3 tonight. (1023 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 9/22/2023 & rated 94 points: Morey Saint Denis & Bonne Mares: Pronounced nose intensity with sour cherry, flora, red fruits, toast, earth. Medium+ acidity and medium tannin. Felt that the wine is not in it peak and just entering drinking window. Will be interesting to find out in future on its development hence the lower score. (1122 views) | | | Tasted by dream on 7/25/2023 & rated 94 points: The nose is just fabulous with incredible scents of cherry spice and violet flowers. The palate is still a bit youthful but with lots of air it shows gorgeous dark cherry fruits within a firm structure built on crisp acids. The finish is tightly wound but with emerging complexity with notes of cherry spice and brilliant minerals. Real depth here and quite a large-scaled Burgundy that needs more time but still a joy to drink with boeuf bourguignon today. 94+ (1205 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 1/12/2023: 2018 White Burgundy and 2008 Dujac: The group's overall favorite in our blind flight of six 2008 Dujac. I was an outlier, and ranked it fifth. (1815 views) | | | Tasted by godx on 11/20/2022 & rated 94 points: Tasted blind. Youthful wine. Palate has lots of stuffing but also a polish and purity to it. Concentrated but elegant. Very well balanced. Didn't show as much stem inclusion as one would expect from Dujac. Lovely wine and can't wait to try this in a decade. 94+ (476 views) | | | Tasted by The Vines That Bind on 11/11/2022 & rated 94 points: [Blind] Feels pretty big upfront. Pure. clean, has a certain balsa wood dryness. Great purity. Big and powerful but has elegance. Nice perfume. Power, cleanliness, some modernity. I actually ruled out Dujac for lack of obvious stems or whole cluster. Does anyone know the stem / cluster regimen here throughout the 2000s? (1583 views) | | | Tasted by WoodieBayArea on 12/20/2021 & rated 94 points: saw some good notes and treated myself to one of two bottles I bought... this was fantastic wine, with beautiful blue/purple fruit (not dark, not red) and loads of spices... nonetheless it was an elegant wine - with power but lithe... just a beautiful wine that I felt I almost ate as much as drank (flavor wise)... had over two nights, needed several hour decant on night one to really show, and tho diff on night two (more spice) it was 94 pts both nights... yes, yes, yes -- wish I had bought more... paid $265 and now priced in the US at $1,100... sad (2701 views) | | | Tasted by J'agnes on 8/15/2021 & rated 94 points: From a 375ml with a perfect closure. Nice depth of colour with a narrow rim. This wine is really hitting it's stride now. Nose is forest floor and spice with a hint of barnyard. Palate has nice tart red fruit with a pleasing grip from the super fine grained tannins on the finish. Pleasantly vegetal on the finish. An interesting intellectual wine to be savoured, although perhaps lacking the underlying power of the very best. This wine retains both acidity and tannin and could easily do 5 more years and maybe plenty more? (2891 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 6/19/2021 & rated 95 points: The Roots Fund Grand Cru Charity Dinner (Home): 96/99/00/01/08. I really love Dujac in 2008 and this bottle showed quite well in the flight. Of course, a bit more youthful, but with plenty of pure, brightly stemmy, and meaty fruit. Rich and concentrated with a seamlessness that not all achieved in 2008. Great now, with upside. (3264 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 6/19/2021 & rated 94 points: The Roots Fund Charity Grand Cru Dinner (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): In vertical. The baby of the flight, which made it tougher for me to love, but the stuffing is here. Spice galore with lots of concentration, this could never be expected to be as layered (yet) as the 99/00/01 vintages alongside, but was certainly tasty and hinting at its trajectory. (3211 views) | | | Tasted by MartyL on 3/12/2021 & rated 93 points: Fantastic. Still drinking youngish and with a strong Dujac aromatic signature. No shame opening this now but has the bones for years in the cellar too. (2630 views) | | | Tasted by fatboi on 2/20/2021 & rated 92 points: Definitely a nose of stem and a palate of spices but found the fruit to be muted. Was expecting a more nuance wine in light of reviews I read. Good underlying body but seems to need more time or air. Should have likely opened the bottle up earlier in the night. (2169 views) | | | Tasted by conviction buy on 2/9/2021 & rated 94 points: Pnp, color is bright garnet, in line with aroma of just ripen red fruits, hint of fresh acidity, trace of hawthorne, extremely lovely. On palate, slightly grippy dusty tannin gives way in no time to a plethora of red fruits, hint of stem, little trace of oak. Everything is in great balance, long finish despite the decepting medium mouth feel. A perfect elegant example of CdlR! (1860 views) | | | Tasted by Argrath on 1/16/2021 & rated 94 points: (Burgundy 2008 half-blind tasting)
Very rich and generous nose. Some toasty oak. Extremely spicy. Pine-cone aroma. Forest floor beginning to emerge.
Fullish, dense and rich palate. A load of pine-cone forest floor. Very spicy. Plum, oak and gunpowder intermingle nicely. Still oak to resolve. Almost coffee-toasty after a while. A hint of tartness in finish perhaps betrays the vintage a bit.
This is very nice now, but can go on for decades perhaps. Groups number 1, my number 3. (1185 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 8/27/2020 & rated 95 points: 07/08/09/10 vertical. Gorgeous, lifted and intense aromatics of spice, stem and pure red cherries. The palate is intensely flavored and rich yet bright and ethereal. A bit of an acid-driven edge on the finish that needs to smooth out. Upside from here as it integrates even further. Impressive. (2218 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 8/27/2020 & rated 95 points: Great Champagne and Burgundy Dinner (Park Ridge Country Club): In 07/08/09/10 vertical, all open several hours in advance, none decanted. This is the first time I've had this wine in a non "tasting" setting and it was really shining tonight when given the attention it deserved. Bright red cherry and berry are very fresh and front-and-center, so wonderfully supported by spice, perfume and tannic elements. Rich, yet balanced. The best of the 4 vintages for now, even if 2010 will probably be better in the future. (3113 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/5/2020: Zachys La Paulée "Warm-up" Dinner (Lafayette - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Spice galore with very bright and precocious red fruit. Not backward at all, but I think this wine has so much upside as it softens further. 93-94 point potential. (3184 views) | | | Tasted by Jammy Wine on 9/17/2019 & rated 90 points: The 2008 Dujac Clos de la Roche is maturing quite fast (like many 2008 red Burgs) and felt slightly awkward, though I feel it would turn into a superb wine (possibly like the 2006 Dujac CdlR) in a few years time. Powerful with meaty and savoury edge. Savoury dark berries, ample new oak spices, fine roasted herbs, and a rustic edge. Slightly meaty with an undergrowth note. Structured and tannic. 2002 Roumier Clos de la Bussieres? (90/100) (2931 views) | | | Tasted by BenBlu on 9/14/2019 & rated 92 points: Served blind side by side Dujac Clos Roche 11. On the nose very attractive, cool, sea breeze, then a bit sweet. On the palate OK but lack of lift, bit short. I preferred the 11 here. This was the wine I brought to the tasting and I double decanted it 4 hours prior. When I did and tasted it was a better wine (probably 94 then?) with sweeter spice and quite refined so I was frankly a bit disappointed when the wine was revealed. So I would pnp here... (blind guess CSD 08). (2610 views) | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 8/24/2019 & rated 95 points: Jon's 40th Bash. Drank in Grassl Cru. Aired in bottle about 7+ hours in advance.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of pungent spicy stems, earth, dark red cherries, cinnamon spice, stony minerality. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), structured medium+ tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of brambles, spicy stems, wild red cherries, stony minerality, earth, some animal meat. Very long finish.
Very very good quality. Real good stuff. Though the pungent stems were not appreciated by some at the table. Classic Clos de la Roche for me. Will still improve over the next few years. (2372 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 3/27/2019 & rated 96 points: During a Paulee dinner, so only brief impressions. More brooding than the 2011 next to it but equally impressive with cut hay, stems, earthy notes, bright acidity. Early drinking window, better wait a few more years. (3333 views) | | | Tasted by MikeATL on 9/1/2018 & rated 94 points: Some nice Burgs (and a few others): It took a few hours to show its stuff, but once it did it showed great elegance and complexity.

Garagiste (7/2/2010)
(Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru) Dujac Dear Friends, Those of you who’ve followed the elevage of Dujac’s 2008 portfolio already know what I'm about to say: this is a world-beating set of wines that is probably the finest ever produced at this storied address. Across the board, the wines are at a level normally reserved for only a (small) handful of the most elite producers of Burgundy – including DRC and Leroy. The prices are high but compared to the current Bordeaux madness or other collectable Burgundy of this ilk, they are within reason (you’ll have to check pricing on the 2007s for many of these as they are so limited in 2008, no listings exist). It’s tough to pick favorites but a general rule is that you will not be disappointed with any of them: (Please note: magnums are available of most wines, they are slightly more than double the price of the 750mls - please inquire) 2008 Domaine Dujac Chambolle Musigny “Les Gruenchers” 1er - 2008 Domaine Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin “aux Combottes” 1er - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Charmes Chambertin” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Clos de la Roche” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Bonnes Mares” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Clos Saint Denis” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Chambertin” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Romanee Saint Vivant” - 2008 Domaine Dujac “Echézeaux” - . 2008 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanee “aux Malconsorts” 1er - 2008 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanee “Les Beaux Monts” 1er - To order any of the above or to inquire about magnums: niki@garagistewine.com This parcel is set to depart the cave – it will arrive in the late summer (please check OARS for local pick up after Sept 1st).

| 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
Côte de Nuits on weinlagen.infoClos de la Roche Grand CruLocated in the heart of Morey-St.-Denis, the Clos de la Roche vineyard is known to produce wines of great length and concentration while having a great minerality and pure fruit aromas.
