Left Dujac Fils et Pere

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 winemaking family in Napa) are largely responsible for the operations.

The winemaking has evolved. Jacques was famous for using 100% of 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 92
"Fresh and distinctly earthy aromas include those of the essence of red berries that are trimmed in subtle if perceptible wood and floral wisps. The sleek, delicious and generously proportioned medium weight flavors retain a lovely sense of tension and delineation on the balanced and youthfully austere finale. This firm effort could use better depth so at least a few years of cellaring should be anticipated." -Allen Meadows

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cras 1er Cru has a fair whack of reduction on the nose, but there is amiable red berry fruit underneath. The palate is a little spicy on the entry, nicely balanced with a more savory, tobacco-tinged finish. Drink over the next three or four years." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 91
"The 2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras is the highlight of the Dujac négociant stable this year, offering up notes of oranges and spiced plums followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy palate that concludes with gentle tannic grip." -William Kelley
