Jasper Morris MW quotes “Dujac wines are not necessarily the deepest in colour but are noted for their exceptional fragrance, structure and longevity. With seven grands crus in the stable, Dujac is today one of Burgundy’s leading domaines”.
Domaine Dujac in Burgundy was acquired by Jacques Seysses in 1967. The domaine in Morey-St-Denis had 4 hectares of vineyards and he has subsequently built it up to 11.5 hectares. Domaine Dujac now includes holdings in Clos de la Roche, Clos St-Denis, Bonnes-Mares, Echézeaux and Charmes-Chambertin . “Use knowledge and technology to counter accidents – for example, bad weather – but, if all is going well, don’t interfere,” says Seysses and this principle guides much of what happens in the vineyards and the cellars. Dujac wines are neither filtered nor fined and all of his premiers and grands crus are aged in 100% new oak. These are wines of the very highest order.

A pretty nose of freshly crushed red berry fruit aromas and a touch of warm earth slides into moderately complex light to middle weight flavors that are balanced and long if rather edgy today on the somewhat gassy finish. This is frankly hard to read and while it may come together better than I imagine, it’s frankly rather awkward at present.

The Dujac estate 2007 Morey-St.-Denis is pungently herbal, black tea-like, and resinous seemingly from a combination of village typicity and the inclusion in this lot of some stems. Subtle tannic grip and invigorating salinity offer a nice foil for ripe, caramel-tinged berry fruit and a lingering, stimulating finish. Here are excellent freshness and primary juiciness for the vintage and should be delightful for at least the next 3-4 years.
