The 2010 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru emerged from a challenging vintage where yields were significantly reduced by 30-50%. Despite this, the wine is described as "fabulous" and an "infant" with "soaring aromatics, finely sculpted fruit and vibrant, pulsating tannins," destined for a long life, potentially several decades. It presents an intensely floral nose with notes of dried rose petal and lavender, alongside cool red berry fruit liberally laced with earth, spice, and menthol nuances. The palate is taut, muscular, and broad-scaled, with concentrated flavours that are precise, intense, and explosively long, leading to a youthfully austere and breathtakingly intense finish. Sweet scents of tobacco, crushed flowers, and spices are also noted, with a decidedly feminine character yet possessing significant underlying energy. Further tasting reveals candied raspberry, flowers, stone, and sandalwood, showing a liqueur-like ripeness, with a wonderfully expressive and extroverted profile for such a dense wine, concluding with big but ripe tannins and great fruit persistence. 【A powerful and elegant Grand Cru from a challenging vintage, built for decades of evolution with soaring aromatics and finely sculpted fruit.】 This Grand Cru is still very young and will require extended cellaring, with some experts suggesting it will be enjoyable by 2025, but more patience is needed to experience its peak, potentially 15 to 20 years or even several decades. If consumed in its youth, decanting is highly recommended to allow its complex aromas and flavours to fully unfold. This wine is an exceptional choice for serious collectors and connoisseurs, ideal for a grand dinner, a milestone celebration, or for long-term cellaring to witness its magnificent evolution. It pairs exquisitely with classic Burgundian dishes such as Coq au Vin, Boeuf Bourguignon, roasted game birds like duck or pheasant, mushroom-based dishes, or aged hard cheeses.
