Reviews & Scores
The 2001 Clos Saint Denis Grand Cru has a delightful bouquet, beautifully defined with brambly red berry fruit, cold wet stone, pressed rose petal and a touch of bay leaf. The terroir really comes through nicely here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins and a brisk line of acidity. Perhaps it is at its peak of maturity but its almost balletic poise is entrancing. What a marvelous Clos Saint-Denis from Dujac. Will it get better? Possibly. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2000 and 2001 horizontal tasting. (Drink between 2018-2040) - VM

The 2001 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru from Domaine Dujac is superb, wafting from the glass with a pretty bouquet of cherry, strawberry, rose petal and hints of espresso and raw cocoa. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, elegant and quite expansive with nice depth, an ample chassis of fine-grained tannins and deceptive length, its structural elements asserting themselves in the form of subtle grip on the finish. A great success that blossoms beautifully with air. - WA

Pale and a little bluer than most. Complex, savoury nose with some real interest. Excellent freshness. Sweet palate entry followed by integrity and intrigue. Fine powdery tannins and masses of resolving fruit. Great energy. One of my favourite wines in this selection of 2001s. Very precise. (Drink between 2015-2032) - JR

A mature though still attractively fresh and elegant nose offers up notes of spice, mature and notably earthy fruit, smoke and a hint of game that is framed in just enough wood to notice. There is an abundant minerality to the delicious, round and intense medium-bodied flavors that retain a fine sense of detail on the dusty finish that delivers excellent length. For my taste this has arrived at its peak though it should hold here for many years. Tasted several times with consistent notes. - BH
