White

In contrast to the Aligoté of Ponsot’s celebrated Monts Luisants, the Dujac version is pure Chardonnay, which makes for an easier comparison with Côte de Beaune white classics. And how very different it is: much less charming aromatically and in general leaner, more forcefully acidic, more searching and more driving in style; not necessarily what you’d expect from the ‘warmer’ Côtes de Nuits, though the site is a high one - 300m+ for the premier cru part. This tightly sewn wine really needs a little longer, but I include it in the evening’s top ten for its terroir insight.
