Fifth Growth. Cinquieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Critic tasting note: (2010 vintage) "A dense and powerful red with lots of ripe and exotic fruit. Good dose of wood too. Full body, round and chewy. A little old school." - James Suckling

Winter was harsh (with numerous frosts) and spring was fairly cool. Sunshine was abundant throughout 2010. The period from June 21st to the end of September was consistently dry, which proved beneficial to the vines.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: Today, Dauzac’s wine is a perfect example of a Margaux, thanks to the efforts of its production team. The 2010 vintage boasts a deep and dense ruby colour. Nose: Its already voluptuous and powerful bouquet of mocha and forest fruits is communicated through delicious flavors in its attack. Mouth-feel: Next come harmony and balance with savory notes (vanilla, coffee, chocolate), all the trademarks of great wines. The smooth, almost endless finish allows lengthy cellaring. This wine will improve remarkably over time to be the perfect accompaniment to pheasant in pastry or roast beef with porcini mushrooms.

2010 Vintage
Tasted: Mar 2017
A dense and powerful red with lots of ripe and exotic fruit. Good dose of wood too. Full body, round and chewy. A little old school.
2010 Vintage
Tasted: Mar 2014
Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung, zart rauchig-nussig unterlegtes schwarzes Waldbeerkonfit, feine Mineralik, etwas Schokolade, zart nach kandierten Orangenzesten, attraktives Bukett. Saftig, gute Komplexität, reife Kirschenfrucht, gut integrierte Tannine, finessenreicher Säurebogen, reife rotbeerige Nuancen, mineralisch und anhaltend, zeigt gute Länge, ein facettenreicher Speisenwein mit guten Zukunftsperspektiven.

Noch einer der Weine, die qualitativ zugelegt haben und dank eines Preises unter 40 Euro eine echte Alternative darstellen zu den horrend teuren Spitzencrus: kompakt und frisch, dicht, mit raffiniertem, saftigem Tannin, fruchtiges Finale. Hervorragend, notiert noch einen halben Punkt höher als en Primeur.
2010 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2013
Medium bodied, with more red fruits than black, the wine has freshness, but the blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Merlot lacks ample ripeness and concentration. 87 Points
2010 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2013
Dauzac, whose vineyards are in the south of Margaux, has produced a severe wine in 2010, full of impressive tannins. It is not without charm, however, and it will certainly fill out its serious structure over the next several years. Give this dense wine time.
