About this Item

2005 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Domaine Dujac was established in 1967 by Jacques Seysses when he purchased Domaine Marcel Graillet, a poor estate of only 4.5 hectares, and renamed it Domaine du Jacques. Overtime, the name evolved into Domaine Dujac – a playful moniker. Today, they hold around 14.5 hectares and cultivate 18.5 hectares in total. Buying parcels as they became available, the domaine expanded over the years and now owns some of the most exceptional holdings, including the Grands Crus of Echézeaux, Bonnes-Mares, Clos Saint Denis, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Charmes-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche. Aiming for elegance, finesse and complexity, the quality of their seven Grands Crus is a testament to the domaine being one of the Burgundy’s leading producers.

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers is a Premier Cru vineyard situated within the Chambolle-Musigny appellation. This vineyard is recognized for its limestone and clay soils, which contribute to the wines' elegance, finesse, and complexity.

Critics Ratings

‘Good deep red-ruby. Musky aromas of dark raspberry, mocha and minerals. Lush, broad and sweet, but with superb acidity and floral and herbal notes from the stem influence giving excellent energy to the mid-palate. Very complex, persistent wine, with firm finishing minerality.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91/100 (March 2008)

‘Bright crimson. Scented and very vivacious (see the same attack chez Fourrier). Full and sumptuous on the palate with so much ripe fruit that the extremely fine tannins are almost completely hidden. Long, perfumed, tastes almost like a crème-de-cassis liqueur – that sort of sweet intensity.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jul 2007)

‘The Dujac 2005 Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers displays ripe black cherry and tart rhubarb with oaky overlays of vanilla, coconut and lanolin. In the mouth too, concentrated black cherry and rhubarb are inflected – arguably a bit deflected – by flavors of new wood, but red blood meatiness and attractive inner-mouth florality assert themselves and this displays admirably fine-grained tannins and emerging creaminess, finishing with palate-staining richness of fruit.’ - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (June 2007)
