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
"A beautifully spicy nose exhibits aromas of plum, dark cherry, sandalwood and a hint of Asian-style tea along with a wonderful array of floral elements. Here too the middleweight flavors possess a wonderfully refined texture though there is no lack of punch or minerality on the dusty, youthfully austere, compact and very much built-to-age finale. This is very classy but it's also quite serious so be prepared to cellar it accordingly."

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet with impressive purity, a light marine influence infusing the red fruit mixed with blueberry, becoming ever more floral with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, white pepper and allspice. There is a palpable sense of energy here, with gentle grip and a dash of white pepper on the finish. It closes up a bit in the glass, but I think it's a long-term proposition. Level-pegging with the Clos de la Roche at the moment." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 97
"The 2022 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru is beautiful, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, blood orange, rose petals and spices. Full-bodied, supple and suave, with a multidimensional core of cool, pure fruit, it's seamless and velvety, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. Harvest at Domaine Dujac began on August 29. At the time, Jeremy Seysses thought of the vintage as potentially reminiscent of 2018—tasting the wines this winter, he feels that they're more delicate, while also admitting that he was even more cautious about extraction in 2022. Whatever the apposite analogy, the result is clear: a superb portfolio of beautifully balanced wines that unite charm and density. Readers, of course, will be familiar with the outlines of the Dujac approach to producing red Burgundy: organic farming, fermentation with a predominance of whole clusters and élevage in barrels largely sourced from Tonnellerie Rémond. None of that seems to have changed in 2022, despite a new winery where stainless steel vats have replaced concrete. The wines retain, nay exalt in, their distinctive identity."

"This delicious Clos Saint-Denis starts with a well-developed blackberry and pomegranate fruit aroma touched with star anise and pepper and a salty mineral tang to give it an impressive depth of flavour. The wine has much more density and substance than last year, with firm tannins and a beautifully lingering finish of haunting complexity. This wine should start to open within five to seven years and should drink well for decades afterwards. The grapes are from several parcels that total 1.47 hectares spread throughout the various lieux-dits of this emblematic climat."
