Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
Dujac’s 2011 Échézeaux is another of the more reticent wines in the range. A firm vein of tannin frames the fruit in this intensely structured Burgundy. Savory herbs, rose petals, mint, sweet red berries and licorice are all woven together beautifully. The 2011 is terrific, but it is going to need considerable time. Proprietor Jeremy Seysses adds that this parcel was heavily affected by millerandage. This is a super-finessed wine from Dujac. All it needs is time.
