Very nice effort in a year/vintage that was not very good - a typical bordeaux that is structured, has all the typical markers, is quite quaffable, medium boquet and length. It will probably not improve much more with age and I would consume in the next five years.

Drank the Vielles Vignes along with a long list of other red wines - I beleive that I would have enjoyed this wine a lot more on its own rather than alongside more structured Bordeaux-blends. For those that are still holding on to this vintage it probably has quite a few years to go.

2018 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Monts-Luisants Blanc

Chardonnay more

6/22/2023 - Mad Dog Mikey Likes this wine: 95 points

The Dujac 2018 Monts Luisants unfolds with a shimmering golden hue. On the nose, this wine immediately captivates with a bouquet of ripe stone fruits, notably peach and apricot, mingling with nuances of honeycomb, almond, and a whisper of white flowers. An underpinning minerality enhances the aromatic profile, hinting at the terroir from which this wine springs.

Upon tasting, the palate is greeted with a rich and layered expression of yellow apple, pear, and a zesty citrus undertone. The subtle influence of oak adds a toasty warmth and a hint of vanilla without overpowering the inherent fruit character. The wine’s vibrant acidity ensures an invigorating freshness throughout, while a flinty minerality makes its presence known on the complex, lengthy finish.

Despite its immediate allure, the Dujac 2018 Monts Luisants suggests potential for cellar aging, promising the development of further depth and complexity over time. in line with previous notes, I still hold this vintage at 95 points.

Amazing quality, I tasted it blind and thoght that it might have been one of Occidental’s single vineyard’s. It should be interesting to sample this wine in another 15+ years.

2019 Kutch Pinot Noir Falstaff Vineyard

This will probably improve with a few years in bottle. It showed nice balance and more Burgundian that Californian in some ways (a bit more austere, eklegant and perhaps a bit brooding like a Volnay).

passover dinner, what a beauty, amazing qpr, delivers inline with a first or second bordeaux growth and certainly better than some Monte Bello’s I’ve had over the years.

2018 Château Larrivet-Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/31/2021 - Mad Dog Mikey wrote: NR

Way too young and difficult to rate for someone who doesn't taste massive amounts of en primeur wine and how it develops over the years. what I can say is that there was plenty of cassis present, silky smooth and lacking in tannin on day one, on day two the mouthfeel and taste had improved. I see that most pros consider this a medium to full bodied wine, I perceived it as light to medium bodied, something I also reckon will change with time. I would likely wait until 2024-25 before giving this another go.

from 0,5 hectare of limestone, the Luisants is very fresh and well balanced, rounded and full fruit with a well integrated acidity playing in the background. excellent! from now on I will not simply equate Dujac with reds.
