What is this wine?
Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2023 is one of Burgundy’s great reds, hailing from the domaine’s home village of Morey-Saint-Denis. Founded in 1968 by Jacques Seysses, Domaine Dujac is now run by Jeremy, Alec, and Diana Snowden Seysses, who continue the family’s commitment to biodynamic farming, whole-cluster fermentation, and minimal intervention. The domaine owns prime old-vine parcels in the Clos de la Roche Grand Cru, known for producing some of the most profound and long-lived wines of the Côte de Nuits.

Why get this wine?
Clos de la Roche is Dujac’s flagship—an icon that perfectly expresses their philosophy: aromatic lift from whole clusters, intensity from low yields, and remarkable balance between structure and elegance. The 2023 vintage offers vibrant fruit and exceptional purity, echoing classic vintages of the past but with immediate charm. It’s a collector’s must-have, representing both the heart of the estate and one of Burgundy’s most noble terroirs.

What does this wine taste like?
Complex and powerful, with aromas of red and black cherry, rose, crushed stone, and subtle spice. The palate combines richness with precision—dense fruit framed by fine, chalky tannins and a long, mineral finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Drink 2030–2050. Decant for 1–2 hours if young. Pair with duck breast, venison, or wild mushrooms to highlight its depth and aromatic complexity.

Left Domaine Dujac

Even very casual consumers of Burgundy have likely heard of Domaine Dujac, considered one of the very best producers in Morey-Saint-Denis. This is a rather astounding fact given that the Domaine is only 50 years old, a blink in the eye given the region's winemaking history.

When Jacques Seysses purchased the estate of Marcel Graillet in 1967, it was in disrepair and had been selling fruit off in bulk for some years. In less then a decade he had invested heavily in the property and found customers for his domaine bottled wines. The Dujac name begin to be seen at top restaurants in France and beyond.

Fast forward 20 years and you have Jacques' sons, Alec and Jeremy, taking over the reigns of the now expanded Domaine, with holdings in Gevrey, Chambolle, Vosne, Nuits and Puligny. Today Jeremy and his wife Diana Snowden (herself from a prominent wine-making family in Napa) are largely responsible for the operations.

The winemaking has evolved. Jacques was famous for using 100% whole clusters and 100% new oak. Jeremy and Diana are the first to tell you that adaptation is key. The climate is changing dramatically in Burgundy, and every vintage presents new challenges. Stem use is between 20% and 100%, depending on the vintage and the vineyard. Same goes for oak use. On a visit there last spring Jeremy was excited to show us his concrete egg tanks that were aging the Puligny-Montrachets.

All of this is to say that this now storied Domaine is in very good hands as it heads into the future.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 96
"(from a 1.95 ha holding in 5 different climats). Here the expressive red and dark pinot fruit-suffused nose is once again wonderfully floral, indeed it's perfumed with a similar hint of dried orange peel. The punchy and powerful medium weight flavors are not especially concentrated yet there is a robust and decidedly tannic quality to the equally long finish that is already impressively complex. This is potentially great but be prepared to be patient. Drink: 2041+." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 98
"The 2023 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is much more rich and extravagant on the nose than the Clos Saint-Denis. Red plums, redcurrant and light rose petal scents are joined by potpourri with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins and a fine bead of acidity. This is a lavish and sensual Clos de la Roche with an almost crystalline finish. Outstanding." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The 2023 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is lovely, offering up complex aromas of dark berries, cherries, vine smoke, spices and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and fleshy, with an open-knit, giving profile and a long, saline finish." -William Kelley
