Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Apr 15
Dujac's 2012 Charmes-Chambertin, usually one of the more generous wines in the range, is totally closed today. Elements of reduction presently mask much of the exuberance I sensed in the Charmes when I last tasted it from barrel. There is plenty of energy in the glass, but the Charmes clearly needs time in bottle to come together. The only question is really how much. This was much more impressive from barrel. Let's hope the wine is going through an awkward phase. Dujac's Charmes is a blend of fruit from Charmes and Mazoyères.
