As to the wine, we started with glasses of the latest release from Krug. Traci loves a richer style of Champagne and this was beautiful. I was craving a solid Burgundy for a change of pace, and the 2006 Dujac Clos de la Roche knocked it out of the park. Still incredibly youthful, it blossomed over the course of the evening and has loads of spice and forest floor characteristics paired with beautiful fruit. It certainly has a vibrant, almost crunchy style, yet the mid-palate is terrific, it’s flawlessly balanced, has ample ripeness, and is just a joy to drink. It’s just now at the early stages of maturity yet has another 15-20 years, if not more, of longevity ahead of it. I’d certainly be thrilled with bottles in the cellar.
