Wine Description:

The Domaine Dujac Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 is a masterpiece from the renowned Domaine Dujac, one of Burgundy’s most prestigious producers. This exceptional wine is a blend from two well-separated parcels totalling 0.29 hectares, predominantly sourced from the famed Clos de Bèze, with a small portion coming from Chambertin proper. The blending of these parcels creates a complex and captivating wine that reflects the power and elegance of the Chambertin Grand Cru appellation.

On the nose, this wine offers a beautifully complex bouquet, albeit initially reticent. Aromas of fine spices, floral notes, red currants, plums, and a touch of black cherry emerge, showcasing the intricate layers of this exceptional Pinot Noir. The palate follows suit, with sleek, intense, and broad-shouldered flavours that boast remarkable depth and texture. The wine’s structure is powerful yet refined, with a serious, stony finish that leaves a lasting impression. It demonstrates outstanding drive and power, finishing with incredible persistence.

This wine will develop slowly, much like its sibling, Bonnes-Mares, and promises to evolve gracefully over the years. It’s a wine that will only improve with time, making it a true treasure for collectors and Burgundy aficionados alike.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A complex blend of spice nuances, floral notes, red currant, plum, and a subtle hint of black cherry.

• Palate: Sleek and intense with broad-shouldered flavours, impressive depth, and a stony, austere finish.

• Finish: Serious, with stunning depth and persistence, offering an exceptional drive and power.

Allen Meadows, Burghound rates this wine 93-96 points and predicts it will age beautifully through 2037 and beyond.
