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.

This deeply-coloured wine has impressively concentrated aromatics, with a ripe blackberry fruit touched with hints of violets, earth and stony minerality. The texture is firm and tannic, carrying the wine to a pleasantly persistent finish. The wine seems more substantial and less forward than in recent years. The domaine farms a third of a hectare here; the grapes were primarily fermented as whole clusters and a very gentle extraction with minimal punching down. Drinking Window: 2028-2055.

The 2022 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers was showing particularly well, soaring from the glass with scents of raspberries, red plums and cherries mingled with rose petals and peony. Medium to full-bodied, pure and seamless, this vibrant, refined wine concludes with a long, saline finish.

Planted in the late 1930s. Quality pinot plants, which they use for their massal selections. 100% whole bunches. Fine mid purple. The ripe raspberry fruit emerges very well on the nose. A trace of white pepper. Excellent energy here with a fine crunchy finish, covered though in the attractively ripe raspberry and cherry fruit.
