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.

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.

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.

(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).

Unlike the last bottle, this was too reduced and never came around.
