Dujac Morey-St Denis Rouge 2023

Opened this with some duck confit and was blown away by how balanced the tannins felt for such a young village wine. The dark cherry and earthy notes really shine through after about 20 minutes in the glass.

The village positioning between Chambolle and Gevrey really shows here—it's got that floral lift but with enough backbone to handle a hearty meal. I decanted it for an hour and the dark cherry and spice notes opened up beautifully; probably one of the best values from the appellation this vintage.

Opened this last night and it’s already showing that classic Morey-St Denis depth—dark cherry and earth, with a firmness that promises a few years in the cellar. For a village-level Pinot, the balance between the two famous neighbors is exactly what I hoped for.
