Domaine Dujac, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Aux Combottes

This was excellent; drinking well from opening; lovely red and purple fruits; fresher than one might expect for an 09; some pepper and spice from the stems; a hint of minerality and violets; the palate has lovely depth and purity; not at all heavy or hot; beautiful; no rush from my standpoint.

This '09 Aux Combottes is ripe and silky which makes sense for the vintage. Ripe black cherries, macerated strawberries, cola, accented by Chinese five spice, milk chocolate, and dried fall leaves. Not super floral or acid forward, but has plenty in the tank, at least another decade. The texture is luch and lavish and the wine can hold up to richer meats and dishes. Will check in 2027.

A Journey through Gevrey Chambertin (Dubai, United Arab Emirates) : I felt that this had an excellent showing, though for some reason decided on the night that I was not going to take detailed tasting notes for this wine. Agree that this retains a youthful hue, my personal views is that the aromatics and the palate were atypical of Dujac's wines. Regardless, this was very graceful, with tannins that are now pretty integrated. The only unfortunate thing here is I …

A Dujac Evening at a friend's house (Hollywood) : Ruby with barely any bricking. Red fruit coulis, raspberries, anise on the nose. Great acidity and structure on the palate, with spice on the very long finish. A great showing.

I agree with the last reviewer, this wine just did not excite on the palate. Everything was there but it was just functional. Dark fruits, cigar, pepper but….. I have two more bottles of this wine and I leave for a while now to see how it evolves but I’m not sure it will improve. I hope I’m wrong

2009 vintage

Another wine where the aromatics far outperformed the palate. The nose was complex and concentrated, with dark and red fruits, spice and some brambly notes. The fruit was very subdued in the mouth, however, and the finish hollowed out a bit. Give this some time!

Very sadly corked. Underlying materials seemed very promising.

It was served along with other 2005 Chambertin in my BD dinner. Comparing to the other btl of 2005 Dujac NSG, this was tighter but still very enjotable. Aroma of herbs noted.

2009 vintage

Holy wow, this is a great bottle of Dujac. Pulled cork an hour before decant 'n pour. Open right out of the blocks with ample gorgeous perfume of purple violets and earth that followed through in mouth and held through dinner. I'm sure this will evolve for two decades, but I would not skip tasting this right now. The first bottle of 2009 I've had that I would consider ready.

2009 vintage

PnP, should have decanted. Still tight

2009 vintage

Drunk side by side with the 09 Rousseau Mazy-Chambertin. This came in second but just barely. A few green notes on open that dissipated as the fruit and balance took over. Great depth of fruit, lovely balance, great length. Enough depth to stand up to a full flavored meal, enough balance, fruit and panache to enjoy alone.

Gevrey-Chambertin Neighbors: Combottes 1er Cru and Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru (Chicagoland IL) : Alongside the 2010. This took longer to strut all its stuff, starting off fleshy and flashy, but gradually transforming into a spice-driven powerful wine with so much red cherry and berry. Good now, better 2025 forward. I slightly preferred the 2010.

2009 vintage

Gevrey: Combottes 1er Cru and Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru (Chicago + Zoom) : 09/10 pair. Incredible nose that is both intense and layered with stem-filled black cherry, smoked meat, toasted herbs and spice. The palate has Grand Cru concentration with delicious rich fruit and so many nooks/crannies of complexity. Wow, spice-led powerful finish. If served blind, I would have guessed this as the 2010 given its so complete and firing on all cylinders.

2009 vintage

Dark, full rich ripe fruit but not heavy or overripe. Stem spice. Lush and easy to drink with potential upside from here. 92+

2009 vintage

[Drink from corovan, two different pours in a month. Consistent notes except the second pour was a little more smooth] The wine needs a good hr to settle down in the glass. It is very concentrated with good body. Dark ruby color with a little garnet hue in the ring indicating the aging in process. On the nose it starts with ripe strawberry and blackberry, lots of spice and peper with a hint of green notes from possibly the stem …

Drank at Home Refined and brilliant

The Verticals Tasting at 2020 La Paulée de New York (Eventi Hotel, New York) : Pale. Beautifully expressive red fruit and earth. Absolutely delicious, confirmed on retasting a second bottle. One of the most delicate, refined 2009's I can remember.

2009 vintage

La Paulée de New York - The Verticals (Eventi Hotel - New York NY) : Walk around tasting, in 14/09/02 vertical. Riper than the 2014 but just as well spiced. Dense and slightly backward but still so charming from the ripe fruit and sweet spice. 92-93 point potential.

Domaine Dujac did not make quality wines in 2009. Tasted two bottles in blind over the evening (unplanned), but neither bottles showcased what a 2009 Gevrey Chambertin should be, let alone the usual quality of Dujac. The first bottle is extracted and peppery, slight VA, reminds me of Barbaresco than Burgundy. The second bottle was green and rustic, neither were charming. (74/100)

2009 vintage

wine was delightful despite a trip in my bag to california the day before. held up to food with some hints of mexican spice and i thought a great combo... very pure nose, never wavered, intense red fruit black fruit profile, interwoven fruit and leaves on the palette.. just starting secondary and has a long way to go. dujac is so pretty... with intensity. lovely evening.

2009 vintage

Took a bit of time to come around. Decanted at the dinner table and then had it about an hour later. Good fruit and balanced.

Bourghounders, Vougeot and Friends (Bern) : much more similarity to the Vougeot Vougeraie than the De la Tour. vibrant multi-layered nose, spices, a little bit of firestone red cherries and raspberries. On the palate rather light body but very complex as well. And perfect development. YOu could discover new nuances with every sip I think I would have guessed Chambolle rather than Gevrey.

2009 vintage

Lovely bottle. Great balance, nice nose with dark fruit noes, but the highlight was the palate and mouthfeel, with dark berry, balancing acidity, resolving tannins. Succulent and a pleasure with and without food. Clean and long on the finish.

2009 vintage

Long lunch with Martinborough winemakers (Martinborough, NZ) : Served blind. The three earlier Chambertins were earthy, grippy, serious dark fruited wines, whereas this wine was expressive, the aromas and flavours leaping out of the glass. Red cherries, raspberries, some plum and a floral lift. Also bright, clean, pure, energetic red berry fruit on palate. Additionally a touch of minerality and a herbal undertone (I attributed to the 70-80% whole bunch present). “Supple, integrated, seamless and smooth”, said Helen. “Nice restraint”, …

2009 vintage

Bordeaux April 2018 Just plain lovely, good grib, very good fressness for 2009, young but pleasant, drink 2019 - 2029

2009 vintage

Lovely and powerful burgundy. Dark fruits, earth, some spice on a full palate. Nose is a bit reticent. Outstanding balance. Simple, but delicious, will be interesting to see what this develops into. A lot going on.
