Dujac Clos St-Denis Grand Cru 2022 1.5L

97 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This is a magical wine with exotic notes of incense, aftershave, used tea leaves, roasted meats and kitchen spice. Vinous and broad with nice extract and cuddly tannins but invigorating acidity, this has all it needs to age beautifully. Plus, the oak is mercifully integrated already. There are 1.4 hectares here situated in two sub-climats, Clos St-Denis and Les Chaffots. (2024)"

95-97 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, blood orange, rose petals and spices. Full-bodied, supple and suave, with a multidimensional core of cool, pure fruit, it's seamless and velvety, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. (1/18/24)"

96 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "This delicious Clos Saint-Denis starts with a well-developed blackberry and pomegranate fruit aroma touched with star anise and pepper and a salty mineral tang to give it an impressive depth of flavour. The wine has much more density and substance than last year, with firm tannins and a beautifully lingering finish of haunting complexity. This wine should start to open within five to seven years and should drink well for decades afterwards. The grapes are from several parcels that total 1.47 hectares spread throughout the various lieux-dits of this emblematic climat. Drinking Window: 2030-2065. (11/2/23)"

94-96 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Bright purple, with a wealth of sensual fruit, leaps out of the glass to seduce at once. The sweeter side of raspberry. Immediately stunning as is its wont. Fills the mouth, now more strawberry with some vanilla cream from the oak. Perhaps no more than medium bodied, but with energy. Seductive but simpler. (Nov 2023)"

94-96 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1.48 ha holding in 3 different climats). A beautifully spicy nose exhibits aromas of plum, dark cherry, sandalwood and a hint of Asian-style tea along with a wonderful array of floral elements. Here too the middleweight flavors possess a wonderfully refined texture though there is no lack of punch or minerality on the dusty, youthfully austere, compact and very much built-to-age finale. This is very classy but it's also quite serious so be prepared to cellar it accordingly. Drink: 2037+. (Jan 2024)"

94-96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet with impressive purity, a light marine influence infusing the red fruit mixed with blueberry, becoming ever more floral with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, white pepper and allspice. There is a palpable sense of energy here, with gentle grip and a dash of white pepper on the finish. It closes up a bit in the glass, but I think it's a long-term proposition. Level-pegging with the Clos de la Roche at the moment. Drink: 2028-2052. (Jan 2024)"

94-95 points/'Outstanding,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Clos Saint-Denis is showing well indeed, with vivid, delicate fruit and intense energetic liveliness. There is great tension; frisky, and with the fruit turning up to dance. I love this wine, with its hedonistic edge and tension. Wow. Drink from 2040. (1/22/24)"
