2002 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

Deep garnet. Ripe red fruit flavours and a round, seamless texture. Full and round with orange peel notes. Massively full of fruit on the palate and then a little bit of dryness on the finish. Not quite the perfection of the 1999. But there is lots to enjoy here. (JR)

The 2002 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a very detailed bouquet with ebullient red berry fruit, sous-bois , bay leaf and a very subtle hint of liquorice. This is a very "involving" nose, one that you easily lose yourself within. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, notes of tea leaves, bay leaf and just a splash of balsamic infusing the red fruit. It leads to a nicely grippy, earthy finish that lingers in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted at Sarah Marsh MW’s 2002 Red Burgundy tasting.
