The 1992 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is a captivating red Burgundy from a vintage that was considered a mixed bag for the region, yet capable of producing successful wines, especially at the Grand Cru level. Domaine Dujac, founded by Jacques Seysses in 1968, is celebrated for its traditional winemaking style, with wines that are never filtered or fined, allowing for a pure expression of the terroir. The Clos de la Roche Grand Cru vineyard itself is renowned for its varied soil composition, contributing to the wine's complexity. While the 1992 vintage in Burgundy saw some challenges with rain, September brought good weather for harvest, and careful selection was essential. This wine is known for an highly aromatic nose displaying lovely, elegant, complex fruit with medium weight and supple flavors. Expect notes of red fruit like strawberry and cherry, complemented by earthy and leathery undertones, and hints of oak. Given its age, this 1992 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru should be handled with care. Old corks can be fragile, so a specialized opener is recommended. A gentle decant for 1-2 hours before serving at 16-18°C (60-64°F) will allow the wine to breathe and reveal its full spectrum of aromas and flavors, while also separating any potential sediment. 【A highly aromatic and complex expression of Clos de la Roche's unique terroir】. 🍴 Food Pairing: This savory and classic Pinot Noir is an excellent match for rich, flavorful dishes.
