Dujac fans know how great they did in ‘06, Jeremy Seysses’ first vintage in full control. Aux Combottes, a Premier Cru surrounded by Grand Cru’s on all four sides, is fabulous in 2006, fully open and giving wafting an unmistakable Dujac perfume with elegant spiced red berry fruit, cocoa and Gevrey earth. It’s liquid velvet on the palate, notably impressive for the vintage, with superb balance of fruit character, minerality and fine grained tannic structure. Terrific showing. — 19 days ago

Decanted separately two bottles for Christmas lunch
Took time to open and second showed benefit of longer time to open with notes of wood with earth, cassis, black cherry and a hint of earthy floor. Showed excellent performance and flavours that also possessed benefit of cellaring and results in tremendous length and finish.
Top notch and likely will develop further — a month ago
