Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2015

98 points (19/20)/'Le Coup de Coeur,' La Revue du Vin de France: "Its floral intensity is exceptional, as is its admirable tension. With a profile built to stand the test of time, this wine draws on the noble flavors of whole clusters, magnified by the maturity of a great vintage. A glorious, complete, integrated, and captivating wine. (Jan 2019)"

95-98 points Fine Wine Review: "The Clos de la Roche has gorgeous floral and red fruit aromas. The mouth shows dark fruits that are wild and energetic and the wine has an overall steeliness. Classic Clos de la Roche at the very highest level. (3/28/17)"

97 points Tim Atkin, MW: "The Dujac bottling is frequently a reference point for Clos de la Roche and that’s the case again here. It’s a rich, dense, wonderfully aromatic wine with hedonistic flavours of tangerine, aniseed, blackberry and damson, subtle pepper spice and scented oak. Brilliant stuff. 2025-35. (Jan 2017)"

96 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Domaine Dujac's 2015 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is wonderful, one of the stars of the range this year, wafting from the glass with a kaleidoscopically complex bouquet of blackberry, cassis, cinnamon, dried rose, orange peel and pencil lead. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with a deep core, fine-grained tannins and perfect balance, its finish long and sapid. While this is concentrated--even powerful--it is also beautifully elegant, avoiding the overt muscularity of which this grand cru is capable. Drink: 2025-2060. (Apr 2018)"

96 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "This is also relatively restrained with its more deeply pitched and gorgeously complex mélange of liqueur-like dark currant, newly turned earth, game, sandalwood and violet aromas. There is excellent mid-palate concentration present on the muscular and powerful big-bodied flavors that possess impressive focus and persistence on the hugely long, robust and very firmly structured finale. This breathtakingly good effort will also require extended cellaring to resolve the prominent tannic spine. Drink: 2035+. (Jan 2018)"

95+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2015 Dujac Clos de la Roche is another marvelous synthesis of elegant, sappy fruit and classic soil signature. The gorgeous bouquet soars from the glass in a blaze of red and black plums, cocoa, pigeon, a complex and classy base of soil, woodsmoke, a touch of nutskin and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, sappy at the core and very, very pure and soil-driven at the same time, with seamless, ripe tannins and a very long, nascently complex and refined finish. There is a touch more reserve here than in the 2015 Echézeaux and this will need just a bit more time in the cellar to reach its apogee. 2027-2075. (Nov/Dec 2016)"

95 points Stephen Brook (Decanter): "Very rich cherry nose but not overblown. Firm attack, very concentrated, taut and rather inexpressive now because of the density and weight of fruit. It has grandeur as well as finesse, and is definitely a wine for the long haul. A classic style, initially severe but with a great deal in reserve. Drinking Window: 2020-2035. (Jan 2017)"

94 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Bright, dark red. Deeper-pitched on the nose than the Echézeaux, offering scents of black raspberry, clove, mocha and dark chocolate. Similarly more soil-driven in the mouth than the 2016 version, but with its thick flavors of earth, spices and saline minerality conveying a light touch for 2015. Finishes sappy, vibrant and long, with thoroughly ripe tannins and echoing minerality. (Jan 2018)"
