Tasting notes
The 2010 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru is much more reticent and backward on the nose compared to the 2009 however, I love the “coiled-up” intensity of this Malconsorts that suggests it is built for longevity. Even in the glass, with aeration it reveals enticing red berry fruit, cola, tobacco and sous-bois scents that demonstrate more complexity than previous vintages. The palate is very well balanced with sumptuous tannins: layers of red berry fruit that feel delineated and pure, a discrete undercurrent of spice with a detailed finish that fans out with more confidence and gusto than the 2009 Malconsorts. Excellent! Tasted at Flint Wines's Domaine Dujac tasting in London.

Light bricky red. This seems to flow more from the 2012 than from the 2011, more continuity as that balance between fruit and savour shifts towards the latter. Still a fine peppery note that seems characteristic of this wine. Gorgeous harmony of tannic finesse and freshness and although there is underlying power, it gives the appearance of delicacy on the finish with a light peppery lift. (JH)
A few hours of air turn out to be critical in giving Domaine Dujac’s 2010 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts an opportunity to unfurl. By the time we get to the 2010, it is dazzling. Intense aromatics meld into a core of deep, dense fruit in an utterly magical, mesmerizing Burgundy built on power and structure. All the elements are in the right place. This is a great, great showing from one of my personal favorites in the Dujac range. Even at this early stage, the Malconsorts is remarkably well balanced, while its potential for improvement in bottle is considerable.
