2016 Domaine Dujac, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 3x75cl

Domaine Dujac

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 92-94

Domaine Dujac is lucky to produce wine from many terroirs in both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Each vintage is unique, with its own specific nuances that are part of the charm of Burgundy. The Grand Cru of Les Échezeaux lies to the west and southwest of the Clos de Vougeot, at the mouth of the Combe d'Orveau valley, where the slope is steep (6.5%). The plot ranges in altitude from 277 to 281 meters. The lieu-dit faces southeast. The reddish-brown soil is 40 to 50 cm thick, with light-colored limestone fragments and chert nodules (chailles).

Stephen Tanzer

(a 50/50 blend of Charmes and Mazoyeres): Bright, full red. Alluring scents of black raspberry, red cherry and rose petal; lovely classic Charmes but a bit redder than usual for this cuvee at this address. Sappy and energetic in the mouth, combining compelling sweetness of fruit with good grip. The very long, rising finish features a firm tannic structure. This grand cru will be sexy early on and should age well.

"The 2016 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru has a detailed, stony, quite Mazoyeres-like bouquet in terms of structure, adorned with a subtle marine influence coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant red berry fruit, raspberry and crushed strawberry, quite linear with veins of orange sorbet that enlivens and lends a measured exotic twist to the finish. Very fine, and I suspect it will age with style."

Barrel sample. Bright dark crimson. Light, slightly vegy nose. Quite lean and fresh. Much less sweet and rich than most Dujac 2016s. Slightly austere on the end, though this may keep it appetising
