This is a great introduction to Nuits St Georges made from a blend of young vines from the Clos de L’Arlot it is expressive with red berry fruit that carries a whiff of spice with it that is also picked up by the clean, crisp, precise and overtly mineral suffused light to middle weight flavours that are linear and solidly persistent.

Domaine de L'Arlot Clos du Chapeau – Cote de Nuits Village 2007
NZD $61.95 NZD $59.95
One of the most aristocratic Domaines in Burgundy, which under the direction of Jean-Pierre Smet has reached spectacular heights. This is the baby of the family but yet the truth is, that it is still outstanding. Medium colour with a sweet faintly smoky bouquet, fresh subtle vanilla probably describes the aromas of this wine. The palate is about clean crisp acidity, with red berries, refined and great finesse. Simply outstanding and will cellar for 4-5 years.

Classical, classical Puligny, perfumed with notes of minerals and fresh cream, focused with an expression of pure fruit, no edges.

Domaine Dujac Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2006
NZD $349.95 NZD $329.95
Good full, deep red. Pungent minerality, pepper and blueberry on the nose. Then sweet and bright in the mouth, with superb energy and thrust in the middle palate. This tactile and very long wine turns uncompromisingly dry on the brooding, palate-saturating finish. Very backward wine. This cuvee is now roughly a 50/50 blend of fruit from light and dark soils with the addition of vines on "white soil" from the Thomas-Moillard purchase, notes Seysses, adding that "this has pushed us more in a Roumier direction."

Domaine Dujac Echezeaux 2006
NZD $282.95 NZD $264.95
Good deep red. Reticent red fruits, rose petal and minerals on the high-pitched nose. Suave and perfumed in the mouth, with red fruit flavours framed and lifted by sappy spices and flowers. The juicy finish shows sneaky length. This offers terrific potential but will require patience.
-
Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche 2006
NZD $304.95 NZD $279.95
Good deep red-ruby. Musky, meaty nose is dominated today by chocolate and minerals; lower-pitched than the Clos-Saint-Denis. Fat and sweet in the mouth, with an almost liqueur-like ripeness and wonderful silky depth. Offers compelling sweetness if not quite the detail of the Clos-Saint-Denis. Finishes with a boatload of chewy, granular tannins. Not especially perfumed today but this has the size of a 2005.
-
Domaine Dujac Morey Saint-Denis 1er Cru 2006

Good full red. Sexy, pure aromas of black fruits, brown spices and musky herbs. Lush, spicy and concentrated, with an enticing sweetness and serious stuffing. This dense and expressive wine really coats the sides of the mouth. The long finish feature plenty of ripe tannins.
-
Domaine Dujac Chambolle Musigny 2006
