🏰 The 2011 Domaine Dujac Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a wine that has overcome its historical reputation, now consistently performing well and showing an expressive character. While some initially found the 2011 vintage in Burgundy to lack concentration or be somewhat awkward, Dujac's rendition is described as immediate and wonderfully expressive, with a supple, engaging personality. It offers a wild mix of red berries, especially sour cherry and currant, along with lavender, rose petal, and warm earth nuances. Expect fine detail to its intense, cool, and pure medium-weight flavors, possessing superb depth on a strikingly persistent finish. Other notes include a precise blend of cherries, blood orange, grilled meat, mustard seed, complex soil tones, vinesmoke, and cedar. It's a deep, full-bodied wine with a youthful personality and a long, ripely tannic, very focused finish. It will benefit from 2-3 hours of air to fully open up. 【A Charmes-Chambertin that has overcome its reputation, now showing consistent quality and expressive character】. 🍴 This elegant Grand Cru Pinot Noir is a fantastic match for roasted poultry, game birds like pheasant or duck, mushroom-based dishes, or delicate beef preparations like beef carpaccio.
