2009 Dujac Fils et Pere Clos de la Roche Grand Cru RP--93--96

Robert Parker: 93--96 Points
Wine Advocate #194 May 2011 Antonio Galloni (93-96) Drink: 2024 - 2039 $500-$850 The 2009 Clos de la Roche shows the darker, earthier and more ferrous side of Morey. It is a dark, brooding wine packed with fruit. The tannins are more virile and substantial than the Clos St. Denis, which adds to the wine’s imposing personality. Anticipated maturity: 2024-2039. This is a beautiful set of wines from Dujac. The harvest started on September 10 and ended on the 17th. Jeremy Seysses told me he wanted to pick on the early side in order to preserve freshness. In a similar vein, Seysses kept the fermentations short and gentle to avoid over-extracting. I also tasted a handful of 2008s, which are beautiful wines that are true to type and site. In 2008 the estate finished its conversion to fully organic farming originally started in 2001. Dujac fans have a lot to look forward to in these two vintages.
