Tasting notes
Charles Curtis MW · Decanter · 98
Dujac’s Clos de la Roche holdings include parcels in the vineyard's original Clos de la Roche heart, in Monts Luisants and Les Chabiots, a total of nearly 2ha. In 2019, Dujac produced a spectacular wine that was already very aromatic, with ripe black cherry fruit, spice, and earth notes. On the palate, this wine is tannic and structured, but the texture of the tannins is silky, elegant and very refined. Marvellous.

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
The 2019 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is understated on the nose, with predominately red berry fruit, wild hedgerow, orange zest and crushed stone. I appreciate the succinct manner this unfurls, with hints of Earl Grey emerging with time. The palate is quite peppery on the entry, with just a little chewiness—perhaps not as nuanced as the aromatics. Very concentrated, especially toward the slightly viscous finish, this flirts with exoticism rather than grabbing it with both hands. I wonder if there is a tiny bit of TCA here—it’s minuscule if there is.
