Tasting notes
Youthful fruit yet there's immediate evolution on the nose, too: spice, herbal stemmines, medicinal qualities and a light, ethereal delicacy despite the young core of black fruit. Medium-bodied at the most, but with plentiful flavour concentration that fades slowly on the finish. A long-termer. (RH)

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, Domaine Dujac's 2013 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a more backward and reticent nose than that of Bichot's, but it is well defined with clever use of stems, wonderful mineralité and poise while translating the essence of the vineyard. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well judged acidity, clean and pure with superb balance on the harmonious finish that has just a little hardness at the moment. It's a proper "sit and wait" Grand Cru, but both the sitting and waiting will be worth it. Tasted September 2016.
A wine that has a lot to say about what it is that constitutes great pinot noir. Ethereal, swirling aromas of expressive red cherries, musky whole bunch notes, blueberries and a spicy edge. The palate delivers pitch-perfect balance with fine yet sturdy tannin definition, bright acidity and a long, fruit-soaked finish. Drink from 2019 to 2030.
