Domaine DUJAC - Vosne Romanée 1er Cru - Aux Malconsorts 2023
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts 2023 from Domaine Dujac stands out as a cuvée of great refinement, located on one of the most coveted climats of the village, immediately bordering the greatest terroirs of Vosne. The deep ruby robe with violet reflections announces a wine of great intensity, without any heaviness. The nose unfolds with noble aromas of Morello cherry, ripe raspberry, and blackcurrant, joined by notes of rose, peony, and delicate sweet spices. In the background, nuances of black tea, precious wood, and a touch of incense appear, marking the nobility of the terroir. From the attack, the palate is ample, precise, and caressing, carried by fruit of remarkable purity. The freshness lengthens the body and gives the wine a mouth rhythm both assured and airy. The first impression is that of a haute couture Vosne, in perfect balance between density and grace.
Upon aeration, Aux Malconsorts 2023 gains in complexity and depth, revealing additional notes of licorice, light musk, subtle smoke, and emerging undergrowth. The whole cluster harvest, dear to Dujac’s style, brings an additional floral and spicy dimension, as well as a more vertical and tense mouthfeel. The tannins, initially tight but extremely fine, outline a precise, silky grain that envelops the palate without ever marking it with harshness. The barrel aging, carefully dosed, polishes the texture and brings a discreet patina, without ever overshadowing the terroir’s signature. The mid-palate, deep and vibrant, marries the characteristic sensuality of Vosne with an almost architectural uprightness. The finish, long and persistent, leaves an imprint of black fruits, noble spices, dried flowers, and refined minerality. Each sip confirms the stature of this premier cru among the greatest wines of the domaine.
At the table, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts 2023 calls for cuisine of great precision, capable of dialoguing with its finesse as much as with its depth. It will elevate a roasted pigeon, a farm-raised truffled poultry, a pink veal fillet with reduced jus, or a delicately grilled piece of beef. Its floral and spicy framework also allows it to shine with sophisticated vegetable dishes, centered around forest mushrooms, roasted root vegetables, or cereals flavored with fine herbs. In its youth, decanting will highlight its complex bouquet and slightly soften the tannic structure. Over several years of aging, it will develop notes of truffle, blond tobacco, fine leather, and jammy red and black fruits, while retaining its verticality and inner energy. It is a great wine of emotion, both sensual, deep, and remarkably precise, brilliantly embodying the meeting between the Dujac style and one of the most mythical terroirs of Vosne-Romanée.
