2015 Domaine Dujac, Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru, Aux Malconsorts, Bottle (750ml)

Burghound | 95 Points

"A discreet application of wood serves as a relatively neutral backdrop for the cool, pure and ultra-spicy and floral aromas of dark currant, plum and soy. The tautly muscular, intense and impressively scaled big-bodied flavors drip with both dry extract and evident minerality on the robust and driving finish that is sneaky long. This is quite firmly structured and will require extended patience before it reaches it apogee though it should very much be worth the wait. I would add that the domaine believes the 2015 is the finest Malconsorts that they have made and I would agree with that assessment. 2030+"

"Healthy medium red. Superb floral lift to the aromas of dark raspberry and crushed-stone minerality. Larger-scaled and deeper than the Beaux Monts but at the same time showing outstanding sappy pungency and definition to its black raspberry and mineral flavors. Outstanding mineral-driven energy frames and extends the very long, slowly rising finish, which features chewy but fully ripe tannins. A splendid premier cru with grand cru volume and class."

The 2015 Domaine Dujac Vosne-Romanée "Aux Malconsorts" is, by the domaine's own assessment, the finest Malconsorts they have ever made and Burghound agreed!

Aux Malconsorts is one of Vosne-Romanée's most celebrated Premier Crus, sitting on the same storied slope as La Tâche, and Dujac's 1.57-hectare parcel is among the most serious holdings in the appellation.

A Premier Cru with Grand Cru volume and class. Floral, sappy, and laser-focused, with fine-grained tannins and a sense of weightlessness that makes the wine's power almost deceptive.

The 2015 vintage is the rare Burgundy year that works on every level: warm and generous enough to produce lush, charming fruit, yet with the freshness and acidity to go the distance. Where 2009 had ripeness but lacked the stuffing for the long haul, 2015 has both.
