January 7, 2018 - Over the hill and on its last legs. A disappointing effort from this producer.
October 1, 2016 - Pop and poured. Drank over 2 hours at home.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of earth and red cherries, slight spice. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium- tannins, medium- body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of earth, slight undergrowth, tart red cherries, baking spice. Medium finish.
Acceptable quality. Simple juice pleasant on the palate with some air. Better than Bourgogne for sure, but does this really feel like a good Gevrey Village? Drink up. Not for further ageing in my opinion.
Day 2: Less tart. Still simple nonetheless.
June 15, 2015 - Lovely. I am not always a fan of Dujac's wines, but this one gets the balance of delicacy/finesse and structure right. Very pure dark-red fruit with great acidity, ripe but present tannins. Pure and primary, light and delicate but with structure. Should be singing in 5-10 years but very pretty now.
October 16, 2013 - Very pale brick color. Sweet, lacking both fruit and intensity. The youthful energy was gone and nothing replaced it. Maybe a bad bottle?
December 13, 2012 - Fairly consistent compared to last tasting, with lessened intensity overall. Wine had minor developments over a 2 hour dinner, with slight oak aromas replacing fading fruit and earthy tones by the end of the meal. Flavours were not overwhelmed by the food (Indian curry), bit of a surprise.
November 23, 2012 - (Le Formal, Aix en Provence) Had this in a restaurant and liked it. Not quite as Dom. Dujac but still good p/q. No notes
September 22, 2012 - Drank over 1 hour. Obviously young, great nose of earth, red fruit and some spice. Sweet and light in the mouth with plenty of grip. Narrow on the palate, but great red fruit. Some tannin is felt on the the medium finish.
May 7, 2012 - Light and straight fwd village. Not much to remember from it though which is not a good sign usually. Dont over pay fro the name. 86-87
March 17, 2012 - Tasted at event at local wine retailer after decanted for ~2 hours.
Very earthy nose typical of the region. Lovely fruit and tasty balance with good acidity and tannins.
There were 8 red burgundies tasted from village to grand cru level covering Gevrey, Nuits St Georges mainly. This along with a JJ Confuron 08 Clos de Vougeot were the only ones I liked enough to buy. Excellent wine and village level only too, but value for money is not super great maybe retailer had high mark up.
February 12, 2011 - This is an excellent villages in a forward style. It was drinking well immediately after popping the cork and had a very nice open Gevrey nose of dark fruits and earth. In the mouth it was fresh and smooth with a good balance. The left-overs on the next day had a more pronounced acidity and even a slightly grapefruity taste. I wouldn't forget this wine to the cellar for too long a time, but might very well buy some more for short-term drinking.
