Clos de la Roche 2006 Domaine Dujac

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The Dujac 2006 Clos de la Roche is a dark, brooding Pinot no less complex or long than its Clos St.-Denis sibling. Here, the animal side is a gamey, faintly sweaty beast; the fruits dark and as bitter as they are sweet; and the sense of chocolate-like richness remarkable in the context of the vintage. And rather than an energetic sense of interplay, this conveys a layering of fruit, meat, and stony, saline mineral elements, supported by tactile viscosity and a sappy sense of almost indelible cling. Lucky are those who can follow and compare both of these wines over the next dozen years.

Very fresh nose. Real vitality here. Very complex and beautifully balanced. Although already quite broachable! Lots of rather majestic fruit underneath - so much so that it's quite difficult to see any of the (nicely ripe) tannins at all. Long and haunting.
