2013 Dujac Fils et Pere Chambolle-Musigny

The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny Village (negociant bottling) has a lilting, well-defined bouquet. clean and pure. The palate is supple and clean with bright red cherries and fresh strawberry with a harmonious, svelte finish. This is one of my favorites from Dujac`s negociant range and will be well worth looking out for. 89 points

The 2013 version of Chambolle AC from Dujac Fils et Père is classically red fruity and elegant in personality, wafting from the glass in a mix of cherries, red plums, mustard seed, coffee, woodsmoke and a nice base of chalky soil tones. On the palate the wine is medium-full, round and gently sappy at the core, with modest tannins, already a nice sense of silkiness and sneaky length and grip on the suave and stylish finish. Lovely juice. 2016-2035. 89-90.

As one might reasonably expect this is more aromatically refined with its fresh and airy aromas ofred currant cherry, lilac and soft wood nuances. There is lacy but intense mouth feel to the delici ous middle weight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the ever-so-slightly lean finish. This is very Chambolle in character. 87-89 points
