2009 Dujac Fils et Pere Clos St Denis Grand Cru RP--94--97

Robert Parker: 94--97 Points
Wine Advocate #194 May 2011 Antonio Galloni (94-97) Drink: 2019 - 2039 $495-$873 The 2009 Clos St. Denis emerges from the glass with endless layers of silky, fragrant fruit. It shows gorgeous detail, clarity and nuance in a breathtaking, pure style. The new oak is a bit present, but I have little doubt it will integrate over time. This isn�t a huge wine, but rather one that impresses for its class and elegance. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. 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.
