2019 Dujac Fils & Pere Gevrey-Chambertin

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a slightly rustic, tertiary nose that needed a little encouragement from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, modest depth, chunky red fruit on the finish with white pepper on the aftertaste. Not bad, though not the best négociant wine from Dujac this year. 85-87 points

Rich dark purple with a super-expressive ripe raspberry fruit, no sign of over-ripeness on the nose. There is a thickness of texture – tiny yields here, barely double figures – and notable tannins. Rich fruit returns at the finish. 88-91 points

A distinctly sauvage-inflected and attractively fresh nose reflects additional notes of earth red and dark pinot fruit. The delicious and intense middle weight flavors are supported by relatively fine but moderately dense tannins on the rustic, serious and more complex finale. This too is a quality villages that should reward 6 to 10 years of bottle age. 89-91 points

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is the most structured of these three communal wines, its bouquet of cherries, plums and loamy soil prefacing a medium to full-bodied palate framed by lively acids and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish. 88-90+ points
