2011 Domaine Dujac, Chambertin Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 93+

Good bright, dark red. Dark, brooding aromas of black cherry, mocha and licorice; smells powerful! Then big, rich and sweet but a bit unformed in the middle. A large-scaled wine but today the site’s cold soil dominates. Serious, brooding, youthfully dry wine with major tannic clout. Tough going today. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/03/2014]

The 2011 Chambertin Grand Cru comes from two parcels in Chambertin itself and Clos-de-Beze. It has a slightly meaty, introspective bouquet that is beautifully defined, but it is a little sulky at the moment and needs two or three years to open up. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, juicy tannins on the entry. This is not a heavyweight Chambertin, but very focused with a feminine, silky-smooth finish. Drink 2014-2026.
