Coming 80% from the Clos de Beze, Dujac's 2006 Chambertin smells spectacularly of rose, violet, and licorice; confiture of red and black berry fruits; and smoky, machine oil-like mineral scents. On the palate, this makes a definitive case for the ability of great Burgundian Pinot to display enormous flavor concentration – in this instance I have the impression of sheer Pinot sap – while exhibiting lift, elegance, and transparency to floral, mineral, and animal nuances. Come to think of it, this is like a gorgeous piece of amber whose fossilized contents have come to life. A metaphorical space is cleared here in which the wine's myriad elements can openly, seductively, and kaleidoscopically cavort. I can't imagine the energy here flagging for 12-15 years.
**Note: this consists of two parcels totaling .3 ha, mostly from Clos de Bèze with .25 ha and the remaining .05 ha in Chambertin proper; when both are blended in this fashion, the declared appellation must be Chambertin**
