95 Points

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 - Side by side the Clos St Denis 99 blind during a Dujac evening with friends. It was clear that this was the Clos Roche due to it's more massive structure, more earthiness and weight compared to the more precise and weightless and pure Clos St Denis. Both are playing strongly on the beautiful 99 fruit though. Stylistcally I think myself and the entire table had a preference for the Clos St Denis which was a theme of the evening (also 06 pair showed an even clearer preference for Clos St Denis). However, that isn't to take anything away from a great Clos Roche 99 from Dujac. I do think though Lignier Clos Roche 99 bests Dujac 99 Roche.
