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.

Attractive elegant mid purple. Quite a sensual nose at the moment, elegant lifted fruit, medium-bodied yet with very good persistence. Probably accessible quite early. Very pretty, and if anything the body keeps growing in the glass.

The 2016 Morey Saint Denis 1er Cru, the usual blend of four premier crus (mainly Ruchots), has an engaging and well-defined, elegant bouquet with more red fruit than the village cru. I admire the focus and purity of the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite saline with a brisk, lightly spiced finish. Excellent—this is real class and comes highly recommended.
