2019 Domaine Dujac Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France (750 ml) Boubon the Extended Age comes across

the Extended Age comes across as quite different than the straight VHR Cabernet

It is so intense and rich yet remains agile and fresh

the 2022 Barolo Albe marks the 50th vintage of this cuvée

It offers aromas of green pear

enticing black cherries

2019 Domaine Dujac Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France (750 ml) Boubon the Extended Age comes acrossTASTING NOTES: The 2019 Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru is serious, unwinding in the glass with scents of raspberries, cherries, woodsmoke, orange rind and petals that are framed by a deft touch of new oak. Full bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's a bit more overtly structured than the domaine's Echzeaux (which preceded it in this tasting), with a tightly wound core and chalky back end grip.
