Domaine Dujac, Chambolle Musigny 2008

By Steen Öhman February 29, 2012 -

The 08 Chambolle village from Dujac is still ready to rumble. In the bouquet quite open, fine intense fruit - raspberries, hint of strawberries and gooseberries. The nose is rounded off by a slight note of sweet liquorice, hints of roasted coffee and peppar. On the palate crisp and vibrant red …
