It had a bit of coffee and earth development. There were notes of rose petal, smoked meats and menthol too. There’s a vinous sweetness at its core and everything is cut by bright, minerally acidity.

Beautiful bright red fruit, polished profile, and excellent balance. However, it remained pretty closed through the night and never really opened up. Hope to revisit this beauty another time.

2018 White Burgundy and 2008 Dujac: Blind tasting of six 2008 Dujac. The Combottes received varied responses from our group of nine, with rankings from first to sixth. I liked it.

From half-bottle. Showing a nice bit of maturity versus the last time I had it around seven years ago. Prominent Dujac spice with lots of the tart red fruit of 2008, though there is a ripeness and fullness on the palate that many 2008s don't have. A little woodsy, but not distracting. Very pure, with relatively high acids for red Burgundy.

Similar to the 08 Dujac Charmes Chambertin, the Gevrey seems to be a bit underwhelming compared with other 08 Dujac cuvees. The Gevrey is more tannic and woody finish.

(Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin aux Combottes 1er 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).
