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)
