Domaine Dujac, Échezeaux Grand Cru

The essence of Vosne-Romanée is on luxurious display in this deep, brooding Échezeaux from the inimitable Domaine Dujac. The combination of sappy black cherry fruit, warm spice, and savory minerals is utterly mind-blowing, as Dujac Grand Cru bottlings usually are. One noteworthy feature of the Dujac reds is their incorporation of a significant percentage of whole grape clusters during fermentation, with the ripe grape stems lending nerve and spice to the opulent, lusciously ripe fruit. This is powerful, concentrated red Burgundy with exceptional polish—as elite and rare as it gets!

France

Bourgogne

Beaujolais

Enjoying the greatest wines of Beaujolais starts, as it usually does, with the lay of the land. In Beaujolais, 10 localities have been given their own AOC (Appellation of Controlled Origin) designation. They are: Saint Amour; Juliénas; Chénas; Moulin-à Vent; Fleurie; Chiroubles; Morgon; Régnié; Côte de Brouilly; and Brouilly.

Southwestern France

Bordeaux

Bordeaux surrounds two rivers, the Dordogne and Garonne, which intersect north of the city of Bordeaux to form the Gironde Estuary, which empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The region is at the 45th parallel (California’s Napa Valley is at the38th), with a mild, Atlantic-influenced climate enabling the maturation of late-ripening varieties.

Central France

Loire Valley

The Loire is France’s longest river (634 miles), originating in the southerly Cévennes Mountains, flowing north towards Paris, then curving westward and emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Nantes. The Loire and its tributaries cover a huge swath of central France, with most of the wine appellations on an east-west stretch at47 degrees north (the same latitude as Burgundy).

Northeastern France

Alsace

Alsace, in Northeastern France, is one of the most geologically diverse wine regions in the world, with vineyards running from the foothills of theVosges Mountains down to the Rhine River Valley below.
