2010 Domaine Dujac Chambolle-Musigny

Good full red. Inviting aromas and flavors of black raspberry and mocha. Rich, dense dark fruit flavors show an impressively chewy, tactile texture for village wine. Plenty of fruit here but not overly sweet. Really echoes on the juicy, long back end. Terrific village wine, and built to age.

The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny is beautifully centered and precise. Here, too, there are some initial notes of reduction that take time to blow off, but as they do, layers of well-delineated fruit take shape in the glass. A final blast of sweet red cherries, raspberries and freshly cut flowers wraps around the sensual finish. This is a striking Chambolle from Dujac.

Bit more gas than the other négoce wines. Much more body and richness than the other two. Attractive bitter cherry fruit and real pzazz. (JR)
