Tasting notes
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin is a pretty, fleshy wine laced with sweet red raspberries, violets and mint. I would prefer to drink the 2009 over the next few years as there are elements of fragility on the finish that suggest the wine is not built for the long haul. I doubt that will be much of a problem, as the 2009 is terrific right now.

The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin is a pretty, fleshy wine laced with sweet red raspberries, violets and mint. I would prefer to drink the 2009 over the next few years as there are elements of fragility on the finish that suggest the wine is not built for the long haul. I doubt that will be much of a problem, as the 2009 is terrific right now. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017. Dujac’s negociant reds are an excellent introduction to the joys of the 2009 vintage. These wines won’t require any cellaring, in fact they are flat-out delicious today. Importer: The Sorting Table, Napa, CA; tel. (415) 491-4724
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin floats on the palate with layers of perfumed, elegant fruit. This is the most linear of these négociant wines from Dujac Fils & Pere. Most of the fruit comes from the Morey side of Gevrey.
Medium red. Red berry aromas lifted by flowers and minerals; this boasts more pinot tang than the Morey or Chambolle cuvee Supple, rich and spicy in the mouth, with pretty red fruit and floral flavors. Finishes with sweet tannins and very good length. Vinified with little in the way of stems, this wine should offer early pleasure.
