An Ontario based collector that started collecting 14 years ago, after a life-altering tasting experience with a bottle of Harlan Estate. The entirety of his collection was sourced direct from wineries, the LCBO and the SAQ. None of the wines offered are from auction. Since acquisition, all his wines have been stored in a residential, temperature and humidity-controlled custom cellar before being brought to auction.
The score for 2018 Domaine Meo Camuzet Vosne Romanee Aux Brulees Premier Cru is 95 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Aromas of rose petals, red berries, plums, woodsmoke, exotic spices and hoisin introduce Dujac's 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts, a full-bodied, layered wine that's dramatic and enveloping but impressively fine-boned, with rich, powdery structuring tannins and a long, sapid finish. This showed especially well from barrel, and it has fully fulfilled its promise in bottle.
The 2019 vintage is a terrific success for Domaine Dujac. Perfumed, concentrated and vibrant, with beautifully refined tannins and bright fruit tones despite the warmth and sunshine of the vintage, I'd be happy to own any or all of the cuvées reviewed here. The 2018s, revisited in bottle, have also lived up to my high expectations - More overtly muscular and structured than the 2019s, these are serious wines built for the cellar, but their potential is evident and anyone opening bottles 20 or 30 years from now will be delighted to own them. Of course, readers will be familiar with the outlines of the Dujac approach to producing red Burgundy - organic farming, fermentation in (for the most part) concrete vats with a predominance of whole clusters and élevage in barrels largely sourced from Tonnellerie Rémond. Since Jeremy Seysses took the reins from father Jacques in 2001, there have been evolutions - Inspired by Christophe Roumier, Jeremy seeks to retard malolactic fermentation, he's tried retaining more lees, and there were experiments with leaving the wines unracked throughout their élevage. In the last handful of years, everything appears to have fallen into place in what might be called the contemporary Dujac style, and the few vintages have been, to my palate, especially successful.
