Tasting notes
Three 1995s from Dujac all paired beautifully with our steamed bass (Bar de Ligne). The 1995 Clos Saint Denis was the most delicate and forward of the group. Dried cherries, flowers and spices all suggested the wine was close or perhaps slightly past peak. The 1995 Bonnes Mares was decidedly masculine, with awesome power and richness in its explosive fruit. The sheer depth and power of this long-lived Burgundy were remarkable. The estate’s 1995 Clos de la Roche was initially rather carnal and earthy, but then it turned more delicate and layered in the glass. Stylistically it fell somewhere between the Clos St. Denis and the Bonnes-Mares.

The excellent Clos St.-Denis exhibits aromas of creamy blueberries. This oily-textured, light-to-medium-bodied, beautifully ripe wine is filled with cherry, earth and mineral flavors. Slightly tannic, I recommend holding it for 5 years before drinking it over the next 8 years. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29.
