1988 Domaine Dujac Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru

"This is an extremely well-run estate managed with an intelligent, yet open-minded view of wine-making by proprietor Jacques Seysses. Seysses is a member of the new generation of Burgundy wine-makers who have traveled extensively and recognize that if Burgundy is going to make a viable product, it must be devoted to producing extremely high quality wines that justify their astronomical prices. Why shouldn't the high expectations of consumers be satisfied? The style of wine Seysses aims for emphasizes elegant, soft, sweet, fragrant, velvety-textured Pinot fruit. The wines are light-colored, aromatically superb, with rarely more than medium body, and earthy, juicy, Pinot flavors." - Wine Advocate
