Product Description
VM94+ "Bright, medium red. High-pitched aromas of blueberry, minerals and crushed rock convey great precision and lift. Wonderfully intense and primary, with the black cherry, violet and spice flavors delivering explosive inner-mouth perfume. Very classy, soil-driven wine, finishing with outstanding lift and lingering perfume. This one has the almost electric diamond-dust finish that makes the vintage's best wines so distinctive." ST for VM Mar 2009
Stephen Tanzer for Vinous Media writes, "This superb estate started picking pinot on August 28 in 2007, and then did a fairly short extraction, pressing the grapes quickly after just a week of fermentation to avoid getting hard tannins. The challenge in 2007, according to Jeremy Seysses, was to get enough good tannins in the wines. Not surprisingly, Seysses's favorite 2007s tend to be those that show the best structure. Grape sugars ranged from 11.5% up to 12.5%, "according to the hierarchy of vineyards," said Seysses, who noted that potential alcohol levels were higher, as well as more regular, in 2006. Incidentally, a number of the 2006s were showing their tannins when I tasted them in November and appear to be shutting down. But this is a superb vintage at Dujac. Seysses notes that the estate's clonal material tends to ripen early, which was more of an advantage in 2006 than in 2007." Published March 2009
