Morey St Denis 1cru 2005 Domaine Dujac

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

From four parcels, primarily Les Ruchots (just beneath Bonnes Mares and Clos de Tart) plus four from the excellent string of crus north of town, the Dujac 2005 Morey-St.-Denis 1er Cru offers a pungent nose of incense, Latakia tobacco, black pepper and bitter-sweet cherry. Equally intensely concentrated in flavor, it combines dark berries, pungent herbal essences, and stony, chalky mineral character. The more soothing, sweet and gentle yet seemingly equally-concentrated estate village Morey is flattered by comparison with this firmer, more severe premier cru, a wine whose finish practically grabs you by the tonsils, and certainly has the edge in sheer intensity.
