2022 Domaine Dujac Chambolle-Musigny
| As a sub darling, Dujac hardly needs an introduction, so I’ll try to keep it brief… Founded in 1968 by Jacques Seysses, who learned under legends at places like DRC and Rousseau, Domaine Dujac is now one of the most respected Burgundy producers in its own right. Today, Jacques’s son Jeremy leads the estate alongside his wife and brother. They also have a “Dujac Fils & Père” negociant label that is considered high-quality but rarely reaches the heights of the Domaine bottlings. Like all Domaine Dujac wines, this village-level Chambolle-Musigny underwent a late malolactic fermentation and the juice is unfiltered. It comes in at 13.5% ABV. *Tasting notes: deep ruby color. A bit darker nose than I expected, with black cherry and a touch of strawberry, along with some herbal notes. Medium-bodied and well-balanced, with a medium+ length, juicy and spicy finish. Overall, this is a lovely wine, and Dujac is Dujac, but value is a bit of a question at $125+ for village level. [link] [comments] |
