By the slightest of margins, this is the best of the Dujac '78s, eclipsing even the fabulous Echézeaux. There is more aromatic maturity present compared to the Clos de la Roche with softer, more perfumed aromas of earth, smoked meat and secondary fruit notes followed by superbly well balanced and still utterly precise medium full flavors that culminate in a powerful, persistent and almost hauntingly beautiful finish. A complete wine that is at once elegant and powerful with years left to go. This merits a wow!. Consistent notes.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Bonnes-Mares is a Grand Cru straddling Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis in Burgundy's Cote de Nuits, producing powerful, dense yet perfumed Pinot Noir reds that combine muscle with finesse and reward long cellaring.
