The 2010 Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts is much more nuanced and detailed in its aromatics and flavors than the Beaux Monts. The understated, refined side of Vosne comes through beautifully in this elegant, articulated Burgundy. Over the last few years the Malconsorts has typically been one of my favorite wines in the Dujac lineup, but it needs time. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.
Dujac fans will be thrilled with these 2010s. They are off the charts. The most difficult thing will no doubt be finding them. Jeremy Seysses reported yields down by 30-50% across the board, although his Morey blanc was down a whopping 90%. The poor flowering and wet summer resulted in loose bunches with a high amount of shot berries. The wines came in at 12 to 12.5% potential alcohol and were lightly chaptalized. Seysses used 80-90% stems for most of the wines, a little less for some, such as the Charmes and Combettes (around 70%) and more for the Chambertin and RSV (both 100%). Unfortunately, the 2010 Morey 1er Cru was too reduced to evaluate, so I will have to wait for another opportunity to taste the wine. I also tasted the entire range of 2009s. I will report on those wines in the April issue.
