Critics Ratings
'I have never been completely convinced by Dujac's wines this vintage and on this occasion it is surpassed by Bertheau's Amoureuses. Deep in colour with some bricking on the rim, the nose offers red fruit, burnt toast and bell pepper, just a little muddled, to be truly honest. The palate has a strong stemminess that occludes the terroir expression. Yes, it is fresh and enjoyable, but I feel the stems dictates this Bonnes-Mares to its detriment. Tasted at The Glasshouse restaurant. Drinking window 2019 - 2026.' - Neal Martin, Vinous.com, 89/100 (May 2019)
'The Dujac 2007 Bonnes Mares displays a wild berry concentration and pungent, resinous and horehound-like herbal notes I associate with this site. Dark suggestions of game probably offer a glimpse of the evolution to come, though this is corseted with fine-grained tannin and an almost stony undertone takes on unexpected prominence in its forceful, gripping finish. Here's one 2007 almost sure to be worth following for close to a decade.' - David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Jun 2010)
