2009 Domaine Dujac Bonnes-Mares add to summary
97 points. Firm, but so generous and elegant. There is an ethereal perfumed character, along with mineral and earth notes. The tannins are integrating well in this powerful, impressive, ageworthy wine.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche add to summary
96 points. Very opulent, very rich, this is a complex, structured wine packed with fruit and brooding tannins. It is already rich, and will develop into a beautifully intense, concentrated and generous wine. Imported by The Sorting Table.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Clos Saint Denis add to summary
95 points. A very rich wine, showing all the opulence of 2009. Black plums, damsons and wood flavors are already combined and integrated. The acidity in all this richness and power seems low, leaving the tannins to support aging. Imported by The Sorting Table.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Echezeaux add to summary
96 points. This bautifully perfumed wine shows structure,
dark tannins as well as great charm. The acidity is layered with black fruits and dry tannins. Age for 7–8 years or more. Imported by The Sorting Table.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Fils & Pere Gevrey-Chambertin add to summary
91 points. With dense, dusty tannins as well as great bright red fruits, this is a wine that has weight and richness, while still going through a severe stage. It has power and structure. Age for 3–4 years.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Fils & Pere Morey Saint-Denis add to summary
90 points. Structured and dense, with layered tannins and an austere edge. At the same time, the fruit packs concentrated strawberry flavors, acidity and complexities from textured wood.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Gevrey Chambertin aux Combottes add to summary
93 points. All the proper structure of young Gevrey-Chambertin with the addition of rich, generous fruit. The core is of wood and dry fruit tannins, the fruit of rich black plum juice. At this stage, the wine is firm. Give it 5–6 years to open up.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Morey Saint Denis add to summary
91 points. This powerful wine packs its rich fruit and acidity into a tight structure of sweet tannins. It is designed for aging, with its powerful texture and red berries layered with plum skin and damsons.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru add to summary
92 points. Big, tannic and fruity, giving an intense structure of black plums laced with sweet raspberries. It exudes richness and power,generous while also firm.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanée Les Beaux-Monts add to summary
94 points. With great richness, almost opulence, great ripe red fruits are folded into a powerful dark structure. The tannins are right up front, long-lasting and very structured. The final acidity offers freshness to a wine that will need aging. Imported by The Sorting Table.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2009 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanée Les Malconsorts add to summary
94 points. All tannins and black fruits, this is a powerful wine. It is tough, very structured, firm and closed up. The acidity dominates the red fruits on the finish. It has immense promise for the long term.
Wine Enthusiast, 09/2011
2008 Domaine Dujac Bonnes Mares add to summary
94-95 The sulfur had just been adjusted on the Bonnes-Mares, so the wine was a bit more sullen than the last few wines in the lineup. The bouquet is very deep, very complex and still quite primary in its aromatic profile that includes notes of red and black cherries, raw cocoa, a great base of soil, woodsmoke and cedary wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and quite reserved, with a rock solid core of fruit, great transparency, ripe tannins and a long, tangy finish. This will also be excellent- no surprise here. 2018- 2050. 94-95

2008 Domaine Dujac Chambertin add to summary
97+ points. The 2008 Chambertin was made with two-thirds whole cluster this year, and it too is a brilliant wine in the making. The wine was a touch reduced when I tasted it in November, but underneath is a wine of immense complexity and breed. The bouquet is a very fine blend of black cherries, blood orange, great minerality, a touch of game, cocoa, woodsmoke and new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully focused, with a rock solid core of fruit, ripe tannins, outstanding acids and exceptional length and grip on the very transparent and sophisticated finish. A great, great wine. 2018-2060. 97+
View From The Cellar, 12/2009
2008 Domaine Dujac Chambolle-Musigny add to summary
93+ points. The 2008 Gruenchers is also a really lovely bottle in this vintage. The bouquet is deep, pure and vibrant, as it jumps from the glass in a blaze of cherries, strawberries, blood orange, brilliantly complex soil tones, violets, spice tones and just a touch of new wood (this was raised in two-thirds new wood this year). On the palate the wine is fullish, deep and very intensely flavored, with an excellent core, great signature of soil, impeccable balance and a very long, tangy finish that closes with fine-grained tannins and lovely minerality. 2016-2040. 93+.
View From The Cellar, 12/2009
2008 Domaine Dujac Clos St Denis add to summary
94+ points. The 2008 Clos St. Denis is another absolutely stellar bottle in the making. The bouquet is deep, pure and utterly refined, as it offers up a perfumed mélange of red plums, cherries, blood orange, clove-like spices, great minerality and a judicious framing of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is fullish, long and tangy, with a fine core of fruit, brilliant transparency, refined tannins and magical length and grip on the dancing and completely soil-driven finish. A great Clos St. Denis. 2016-2045. 94+
View From The Cellar, 12/2009
2008 Domaine Dujac Echezeaux add to summary
93+ points. The 2008 Echézeaux is also a stellar and strikingly pure and soil-driven example of the vintage. The deep, black fruity and utterly refined nose offers up scents of cassis, dark berries, woodsmoke, a lovely base of soil, espresso and a touch of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very fine, with excellent mid-palate depth, silky tannins and great length and grip on the focused and nascently complex finish. A very classy Echézeaux this year. 2018-2050. 93+.
View From The Cellar, 12/2009
2008 Domaine Dujac Gevrey Chambertin Aux Combottes add to summary
92 points. The 2008 Combottes is also extremely elegant and transparent on the nose, as the wine soars from the glass in a blend of red and black cherries, coffee, raw cocoa, a really lovely base of soil and a delicate framing of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and very intensely flavored, with a fine core of fruit, refined tannins, impeccable balance and excellent focus and complexity on the very long and tangy finish. Just a beautiful bottle of Combottes in the making. 2016-2040. 92.

2008 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis add to summary
89+ points. The domaine’s own example of Morey villages is exceptional this year. The nose is deep, very pure and perfumed in its mix of plums, black cherries, coffee, a touch of blood orange, complex soil tones and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full, long and intensely flavored, with beautiful transparency, impeccable focus, modest tannins and a very long, tangy and soil-driven finish. Really a lovely bottle this year. 2013-2030. 89+.
View From The Cellar, 12/2009
2008 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis add to summary
89 points. A soft touch of wood sets off the ripe and pretty white peach and pear aromas that leads to generous, rich and very round medium-bodied flavors that possess really lovely intensity, depth and fine length. 89/2011+
Allen Meadow's Burghound, 06/2010
2008 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis 1er Cru add to summary
91+ points. The Morey St. Denis Premier Cru will also be an outstanding bottle in 2008, as the wine shares the same precision and transparency of the Morey AC in this vintage, with of course more depth and complexity. The bouquet offers up a very stylish mélange of red and dark plums, dark barriers, bitter chocolate, a lovely and complex base of soil and a touch of lead pencil from the new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and beautifully focused, with excellent nascent complexity, fine mid-palate depth and a very long, soil-driven finish that closes with tangy acids and very sophisticated tannins. A lovely bottle in the making. 2016-2040. 91+.

2008 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanee Les Beaux-Monts add to summary
91-93 The Beaumonts ’08 was also still in malo, but was much closer to finishing up than the Charmes and was therefore much easier to get a read on. The wine is going to be really lovely this year (as has been the case in every vintage since the additional parcels of old vines were added from the old Thomas-Moillard estate a few vintages back) to augment the one smallish parcel of younger vines that the domaine previously owned. The bouquet offers up scents of black cherries, dark berries, espresso, herb tones and a great base of soil. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, long and complex, with fine midpalate depth, great purity and a long, tangy and ripely tannic finish. This will be a really
dynamite bottle in 2008. 2016-2040. 91-93.

2007 Domaine Dujac Bonnes Mares add to summary
91-94 Bright, deep red. Aromas of raspberry liqueur, blueberry, menthol and musky herbs. Rich, chewy and dry; comes across as quite austere after the last couple of grand crus. But then Jeremy Seysses finds this quality to be reassuring in the context of 2007. "I'm drawn to austerity in this vintage," he told me, adding that he plans to lay down magnums of this wine in his personal cellar, along with the Clos de la Roche and Echezeaux. Finishes with dusty tannins and excellent thrust.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Chambertin add to summary
93-96 Bright, medium red. High-pitched aromas of blueberry, minerals and crushed rock convey great precision and lift. Wonderfully intense and primary, with the black cherry, violet and spice flavors delivering explosive inner-mouth perfume. Very classy, soil-driven wine, finishing with outstanding lift and lingering perfume. This one has the almost electric diamond-dust finish that makes the vintage's best wines so distinctive.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, March 2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Chambolle Musigny Les Gruenchers add to summary
88-91 Medium red. Musky red berries, minerals, spices and flowers on the nose, perked up by a peppery nuance. Juicy, sappy and youthfully closed, with the peppery character contributing to the imploded impression. Finishes fresh but a bit dry-edged. Not at all open to inspection today, but there's good material here.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Chambolle-Musigny add to summary
87-89 Bright red. Pretty aromas of raspberry, cherry, spices and flowers. Juicy, intense and nicely delineated, with good mineral lift to the mid-palate. The firm finish shows a saline nuance. No shortage of tannins here. This was only 20% destemmed, according to Jeremy Seysses, who added that there was more destemming, as a rule, for the Gevrey cuvees
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, March 2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Charmes Chambertin add to summary
90-93 Good bright, deep red. Very ripe aromas of cherry, minerals and spicy oak. Broad and fine-grained, with lovely verve and a tactile feel to the flavors of raspberry, minerals and flowers. Solidly built but at the same time quite suave. About half of this fruit was destemmed.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche add to summary
92-94 Medium red. Brooding aromas of black raspberry and minerals; distinctly fruitier than the Clos-Saint-Denis. Then fatter, sweeter and more masculine in the mouth, with powerful fruit and a serious, mounting aftertaste. But this very young wine is less complex today than the Clos-Saint-Denis and can't match it for sheer back-end vibrancy.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Clos Saint Denis add to summary
92-94 Medium red. Ethereal, soil-driven aromas of raspberry, dried rose, spices and underbrush. Sweet, lush and seamless, with pepper and spice elements giving this wine a deceptive lightness (like a Dujac wine from 20 years ago?). Finishes with compelling spreading breadth and terrific verve.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Echezeaux add to summary
91-93 Bright medium red. Subdued aromas of redcurrant, cinnamon, pepper and sweet oak. Delicate and subtle in the mouth, but with sappy richness and very good verve. Finishes supple and long, with some oak tannins showing.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Gevrey Chambertin Aux Combottes add to summary
89-91 Medium red. Subtle spices and pepper on the rather closed nose (this was recently racked and sulfured). A step up in texture over the foregoing samples, offering deep red fruit and spice flavors enlivened by a peppery nuance. Finishes firm and brisk, but with enticing sweetness.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis add to summary
87-89 Good medium red. Musky red fruits, dried flowers and spices on the nose. Supple and round, with a strong element of brown spices and good size. If this is rather Chambolle-like on the nose, it's Morey in the mouth-and more concentrated than the example from Dujac Fils et Pere.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis add to summary
89 points. For a villages level wine, this is unusually pure and airy with a layered nose of green fruit and stone hints that continue onto the equally pure and detailed middle weight flavors that evidence a touch of austerity on the delicious
and lingering finish. Lovely juice for what this is and worth a look. 89/2012+
Allen Meadow's Burghound, 06/2010
2007 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis 1er Cru add to summary
87-89 Moderately saturated medium red. Quite closed on the nose. Nicely concentrated but not yet particularly expressive in the mouth, hinting at red fruits and spaces. Finishes a bit dusty. Hard to taste today and less presentable than the village version.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Romanee Saint Vivant add to summary
91-94 Medium red. Captivating aromas of dark raspberry, Oriental spices and smoked meat, with hints of Christmas cake and dried flowers. Plump and broad, with its impressive stuffing and volume leavened by savory minerality. A very young wine that comes across as a bit monolithic today, without quite as much lift in the middle as the Clos-Saint-Denis. The wine's serious tannins suggest it will require at least several years of aging. There are just two 300-liter barrels of this juice.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, 03/2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanee Les Beaux-Monts add to summary
89-91 Medium red with a pale rim. Dark berries, violet and minerals on the nose and in the mouth. Nicely creamy in the middle, with a silky texture, but quite understated today. This rather reserved wine finishes with tangy red berries and a spicy, peppery tang. Vinified mostly with whole clusters. I suspect this is better than it's showing today.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, March 2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanee Les Malconsorts add to summary
91-93 Medium red. Oriental spices and pepper on the nose. At once lush and precise in the mouth, with showy flavors of raspberry and blood orange complicated by spices and rose petal. The most opulent of these 2007s to this point. The subtle, long finish really saturates the palate with flavor, without leaving any impression of weight. My style of Burgundy.
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Review, March 2009
2007 Domaine Dujac Vosne Romanee Les Malconsorts add to summary
93+ points. Happily, the Malconsorts is now one of the largest production cuvées in the Dujac cellars these days, which should make latching onto a few bottles of this hauntingly ethereal elixir a bit easier that was the case a few years ago. The nose is deep and absolutely beautiful, as it wafts from the glass in a perfumed mélange of red plums, cherries, raspberries, cocoa, Vosne spices, simply great minerality, a touch of new wood and a distinct topnote of orange zest. On the palate the wine is medium-full, long and tangy, with laser-like focus, fine mid-palate depth, stunning transparency and simply great length and grip on the moderately tannic finish. A beautiful bottle of Malconsorts.
2016-2040+. 93+.
