1990 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

Dujac’s 1990 Clos La Roche is remarkably bright for a wine of its age. Sweet red cherry, chalk and mint add to an impression of energy and tension.

The flight of 1990s that followed was monumental. The 1990 Clos St. Denis showed great intensity and power in a seamless expression of fruit. At the same time, it was graceful and feminine relative to the other 1990s in this flight. What a gorgeous, utterly complete wine. The estate’s 1990 Bonnes-Mares revealed an additional layer of muscle and depth. Despite its richness, this was a wonderfully balanced, sublime Burgundy. The 1990 Clos de la Roche stole the show. It was gloriously ripe and opulent, with superb concentration and depth. All three of these 1990s were compelling for their richness and overall sense of harmony. Well-stored bottles have another decade of life ahead of them.
