Red Wine: 1985 | Domaine Dujac | Clos St Denis

The '85 Clos St. Denis is already displaying more than a touch of sous bois yet there is still plenty of fresh if maturing fruit of considerable complexity that is trimmed in just enough wood to notice.

Detailed Description

The '85 Clos St. Denis is already displaying more than a touch of sous bois yet there is still plenty of fresh if maturing fruit of considerable complexity that is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The medium weight, round, delicious and velvety flavors display a beguiling hint of truffle and earth before terminating a lovely finish that offer reasonably good depth and length and while this is by no means a big wine, it is a study in finesse and understatement.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The Clos St.-Denis has a very deep color and an intense, ripe, spicy, very fragrant, penetrating bouquet. This full bodied and rather tannic, wine explodes at the finish.

• Wine Spectator: Earthy style, but with lovely strawberry and floral flavors to brighten it up, a touch of black pepper to spice it up, and a lean, elegant structure to hold it together.

Producer InformationDomaine Dujac is a highly regarded and critically lauded wine producer based in Burgundy's Morey-Saint-Denis appellation. It makes high-quality wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, ranging from entry-level Bourgogne to wines made from some of the top Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, including Clos de la Roche and Le Chambertin.The domaine was founded in 1968 by Jacques Seysses, who had spent the previous few years travelling around Burgundy learning the craft from the likes of Aubert de Villaine at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Charles Rousseau of Domaine Armand Rousseau. He purchased a small, run-down property in Morey-Saint-Denis and planted some Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
