Next Door to La Tâche: 2015 Domaine Dujac Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts
Aux Malconsorts sits directly beside La Tâche on Vosne-Romanée's most hallowed slope. Collectors who know Burgundy know what that means. Those who don't are about to find out.
Domaine Dujac's 1.57-hectare parcel in Aux Malconsorts is among the most serious holdings in the appellation — and by the domaine's own assessment, the 2015 is the finest Malconsorts they have ever produced. Burghound agreed, awarding 95 points and a drinking window starting in 2030+. Vinous matched that score, calling it "a splendid Premier Cru with Grand Cru volume and class."
This is the closest thing to owning La Tâche without the five-figure price tag.
The Vineyard
Aux Malconsorts is widely considered one of the greatest Premier Cru vineyards in all of Burgundy — a site that consistently produces wines punching well above its classification. Its position on the same storied slope as La Tâche is no coincidence. The soils, the drainage, the aspect — everything about Malconsorts points toward Grand Cru quality. Dujac's parcel sits at the heart of it.
The Vintage
The 2015 vintage is the rare Burgundy year that works on every level. Warm and generous enough to produce lush, charming fruit — yet with the freshness, acidity, and mineral backbone to go the distance. Where 2009 had ripeness without the structure for the long haul, 2015 has both. For collectors who want a wine that drinks beautifully today but rewards patience into the 2030s and beyond, 2015 Burgundy is hard to beat. For deeper context on the vintage, our Top Burgundy Vintages collector's guide covers it in full.
The Wine
Floral, sappy, and laser-focused. Burghound describes "cool, pure and ultra-spicy aromas of dark currant, plum and soy" with "tautly muscular, intense and impressively scaled flavors" and a finish that is "sneaky long." Vinous praises its "superb floral lift" and "outstanding mineral-driven energy" with chewy but fully ripe tannins.
The power here is deceptive. This is a wine that feels almost weightless on the palate — and then lingers for what feels like minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What makes Aux Malconsorts so special?
Aux Malconsorts is Premier Cru in classification but Grand Cru in character. Its position directly adjacent to La Tâche — one of DRC's two monopoles — gives it a terroir profile unlike almost any other Premier Cru in Burgundy. Dujac's parcel is among the finest holdings in the vineyard.
Is the 2015 vintage good for Burgundy?
Exceptional. 2015 delivered the ideal combination of ripeness and freshness — warm enough for rich, expressive fruit, with the acidity and minerality to age gracefully for 20+ years. It's one of the most celebrated modern Burgundy vintages among serious collectors.
When should I drink this?
Burghound recommends 2030+ for peak drinking. It's accessible now with decanting, but the full story won't be told for several more years. Buy it to cellar, not to open next weekend.
How does Dujac's style differ from other Vosne producers?
Dujac is known for its whole-cluster fermentation approach, which contributes a distinctive perfume, spice, and structural elegance to its wines. The style is lifted and transparent rather than dense — terroir-driven rather than winemaker-driven. It's a house with a very particular and very loyal following.

Is this a good investment bottle?
Premier Cru Burgundy from benchmark producers in top vintages has consistently appreciated in the secondary market. Dujac Malconsorts in particular is a wine that rarely comes up for sale — when it does, it moves quickly. For collectors building a serious cellar, it belongs in the conversation.
