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.

In bottle. A blend from Millandes, Sorbè, Ruchots, Chaffots. Lovely deep crimson purple, with a delicious opulent but precise and balanced nose. Very exciting. I like the depth of flavour and the freshness of taste with crystalline energy behind. Excellent aftertaste.

A particular success this year is the 2020 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru, a lovely wine that wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berry fruit, orange rind, incense, rose petals and warm spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, it’s elegant and charming, with fine concentration and beautifully powdery tannins.
