2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Dujac, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Dujac

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru was also showing very well, offering up an expressive bouquet of ripe cherries, cassis, warm spices and rich soil tones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, supple and textural, with a broad attack, good depth and energy at the core, powdery structuring tannins and a sapid finish. - William Kelley, Jan. 2020

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Dujac

A ripe, fresh and unusually elegant, indeed even perfumed, nose displays notes of black raspberry, cassis and plenty of floral influences. There is both good focus and density to the quite powerful and vibrant medium weight flavors that culminate in a mildly warm, compact, rustic and somewhat short finish. My guess is that this will better harmonize as the tannins resolve but that is not a given. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2020

Vinous - 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Dujac

The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru was showing a little reduction on the nose but there is plenty of attractive black currant and boysenberry fruit underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, fine acidity, great mineralité and a precise, edgy finish that is quite Mazoyères in style. Great potential, but it will need some time. - Neal Martin, Jan. 2020
