Domaine Dujac, Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsort 2006

By Steen Öhman December 17, 2013 -

The Vosne Aux Malconsort from Dujac is made from the two climates Aux Malconsort and Les Gaudichots, but labeled Malconsort. It's my first experience with this wine from Domaine Dujac .. and what a treat. In the nose lovely dark fruit with a beautiful Vosne minerality - deep fruit but still quite …
