I was going to post this as I saw an offer today on some 2021 Dujac but it sort of sold out (the one’s that interested me) but might as well ask. Any thoughts on these? Particularly the grand and 1er crus?
The offer was from Saison, $657 for the 2021 Clos de al Roche, they had 2 bottles, which seems like a good offer (I can pick it up at their office, so no shipping charges). I have heard mixed reviews on 2021 red burgundy but one thing was in common that it is expensive so I thought $657 wasn’t bad, but alas someone also thought the same.
Anyway, any insights on these would be appreciated just in case new offers arrive.
Hi J,
I have worked my way through plenty of 2021 reds and I must say I like the vintage very much. Pretty, perfumed wines of good energy and vigor. Tasted the Dujac '21 CdlR at the Domaine earlier in the year. Very good. My note below.
cheers

A little reduction at first. Possesses a core of creamy, dark cherry fruit. It is layered and powerful, with excellent minerally detail. There’s loads of floral spice and a finish that drives on and on.

Had a distributor change here so not clear on if my pricing is being tinkered with above my retailer, but my offer was at $689 for the 2021 CdlR so I would have advised going for it if a $700 bottle of wine fits into your mental capacity for economics.

I think you’re in Durham or nearby. $689 is a great price (normal retail would be over $850). The wholesale was up 21% on 2020, so I passed on my measly allocation filled with negoce wines. That may have been a bottle I passed on.
they’re not with Sorting Table ?
Importers remain the same (Sorting Table and Chambers - Sorting Table is our source here) but local distributorship shifts and the allocations that come to the area shift with them based upon existing relationships and the vagaries of the vintage.
@Nathan_V yes, I’m a Durhamite.

I hesitated, but ended up saying yes to my small allocation of Dujac 21 - 6 Beaux, 2 Combottes, 3 Morey, 3 Chambolle and 2 bourgogne blanc. Was offered same price as 2020
