Generally would agree that this wine doesn’t come off with a lot of classic umph that one might expect from 1er Cru but the 1er Cru terroir of chassagne is there undoubtedly and this does give way to the classic opinion that Puligny is usually more overtly pleasurable than Chassagne. It is complicated by mineral with a nice tropical inflection and a subtle energy but it is not explosive. I enjoyed this with many different good foods and had a lovely time as always with a noble Chardonnay like this. Enjoyable and delicious and evolved nicely over 3 days with sushi, noodles, pork, and lots of vegetables. — 3 years ago
Pop and pour. In an excellent place. On the nose: blood orange, roses, menthol, glossy red cherry. Still somewhat primary. Good density and acidity; hi-toned red fruit, with some dried fruit and leather inflection. More soft herbs on the softly tannic finish. Yum! — a year ago
Love the inflection between toast and freshness on the nose. Aromas of almond slivers, bruised apple, hazelnut, gravel, honey, and perfumed lilacs. Palate is laser sharp, with acid driven orchard fruit. Great purity. Mid palate rounds out the mouthfeel - so creamy and soft. Mousse is fine and rich. Finish lingers with layers of green apple evolving to brioche and mascarpone. Find this and buy it! (Celebrating a new job tonight!!) — 4 years ago
I’m finished paying Dujac prices but it’s great to have experience with this producer. Lots of balance with terroir intact and full on pleasure. Very Morey as well with a Smokey inflection like Gevrey but with a lift and freshness I come to expect from morey red. Concentrated in a very perfected way. Not complicated as I wondered it might be having some crazy village wine experiences from Dujac, but I’m really thinking of the ‘09 chambolle I just can’t seem to find anywhere anymore. Clean. — 3 years ago

Very refined. Displays celery inflection oft associated with 2011. As the wine becomes deeper and richer with air, any less desirable inflection is negligible. Excellent wine in a mediocre vintage. — a year ago
