The Dujac Charmes-Chambertin is a blend made form 0.31ha in Charmes itself and 0.39ha in Mazoyères-Chambertin. A pale to mid crimson red. Effortlessly perfumed thanks to the whole bunch vinification approach, the only wine in the line-up to use this technique predominantly. Strawberry and fresh cherry, good acidity, just a few tannins, a most delicious, interesting and complex wine. Drink from 2024-2033. Tasted: April 2023.
The sauvage-suffused nose reflects a discreet touch of wood on the cool and pure essence of red berry fruit nose that projects plenty of floral, earth, forest floor and anise elements. The rich and muscular medium weight plus flavors display touches of salinity and youthful austerity on the otherwise sneaky long but compact finish. This isn't elegant or especially dense but it is a relatively dense 2017 and one that should age well.
