Aux Malconsorts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Opened some time prior to service; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2013 Vosne-Romanée pours a deep ruby with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with its notes of strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, rosemary, coniferous forest floor, minerals and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is a profoundly sensual wine that is showing really well now and I would expect it to be thrilling for years to come. Drink now through 2048.

I have had a weak spot for the Malconsorts since Dujac first made this wine in 2005. The 2013 is of course too young, but it is full of energy, nuance and pedigree. Loved it.

Perhaps the best showing red I’ve had all year, ‘13 Malconsorts is simply explosive at the moment, with riveting intensity wafting an unmistakable Dujac perfume with an ethereal, silky palate that’s impossibly balanced between richness and elegance. Amazing red Burgundy that just could not have shown better!

This is archetypal Vosne Romanée. #barreltasting

2013 Dujac Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Malconsorts*

Loved this!

You definitely notice the stems here. This needed a lot of air, but became more beautiful overtime.

Grand Cru like showing dark cherry, raspberry that was open, expressive with 30 min of air. Complex with the classic Dujac spice, crushed rock, earth & violet.

This was deep, layered showing beautiful aromatics with the classic Dujac spice, dark cherry, raspberry, rich in mineral & violet. A beautiful wine.

Beautiful wine that was drinking well with its sweet dark fruits, savory spice, mineral & floral perfume.

This was rich & dense with beautiful aromatics, black cherry, raspberry, spice cake, violets & crushed rock. Good vintage for this wine.
