Domaine Dujac
About Domaine Dujac
Domaine Dujac remains one of the most revered producers of Burgundy and continues to drive Burgundy collectors mad with desire. Founded in 1968 by Jacques Seysses, who spent years travelling around Burgundy honing his craft by learning from the likes of Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Charles Rousseau of Domaine Armand Rousseau.
This Morey-Saint-Denis-based producer is one of the region’s top cult wineries. Gaining a reputation for rich, full-bodied Red Burgundy, the modus operandi was to make use of whole-cluster fermentation and 100% new oak. A trademark style continued until 1999, the estate remains one of the most sought-after, distinctive sources of Burgundy.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)Good full red. Aromatic but tight nose hints at minerals, spices, pepper and earth. Concentrated, sweet and fine, with a tight kernel of fruit compressed today by strong, sappy acidity. This is backward today, but its intensity and incipient complexity are easy to see. Finishes very long and fine, with noteworthy energy. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (91-94)Bright, deep red. Aromas of raspberry liqueur, blueberry, menthol and musky herbs. Rich, chewy and dry; comes across as quite austere after the last couple of grand crus. But then Jeremy Seysses finds this quality to be reassuring in the context of 2007. I'm drawn to austerity in this vintage, he told me, adding that he plans to lay down magnums of this wine in his personal cellar, along with the Clos de la Roche and Echezeaux. Finishes with dusty tannins and excellent thrust. |

Jancis Robinson (18)Average 85% whole bunch. Very big crop in 2017. Barrel sample. Bright cherry red. There is that red-fruited beauty here but it is hiding a little at the moment and there’s a sweet ripeness and spice. Depth of fruit but you could miss it because of the lively fresh character. Lots of energy and a hint of stems as the wine opens. Fine, chalky tannins that melt on the finish. Scented beauty to be fully realised – but you won’t need to wait too long. |

Decanter (97)Now a well-established part of the Dujac range, this was first made in 2005 and comes from a single parcel of 0.29ha. If you're a fan of well done whole-bunch fermentation, you'll love this racy, refined, stylishly oaked grand cru. It displays flavours of bramble, red cherry and chalk, with a spicy, peppery undertone. |

Vinous (95-97)The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very well-defined bouquet that is a distant cousin of the Bonnes-Mares stylistically, featuring blackberry and wild hedgerow, crushed limestone and a touch of black tea. The palate is medium-bodied and quite austere for a Chambertin, delivering firm tannins, wonderful structure and light white pepper and sage toward the finish, which has just the right amount of bitterness. Superb. |

Burgundy | 1 | 90+ (VN) | $3,535.00 | |||||
Vinous (90+)Pale-medium red. Candied red berries, subtle soil tones and a whiff of pepper on the nose. At once sweet and savory on the palate, with a ripe raspberry flavor perked up by minerally acidity. Rather backward today and not yet expressing itself; in fact, this seems to be closing down right now. Finishes with dusty, solid tannins and yet there's something essentially soft about this wine. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruechers 1er Cru has a tightly wound, perfumed bouquet with wilted iris aromas, hints of blood orange and mandarin infusing the dark cherry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly chalky opening that lends it a Morey-Saint-Denis like personality. Fine length, this will benefit from 3-5 years in bottle. |

Burgundy | 1 | 88-91 (BH) | $767.00 | |||||
Burghound (88-91)There is just reduction present to blur the nuances of the underlying fruit. More interesting are the very fresh and super-sleek middleweight flavors that possess fine intensity while exhibiting ample minerality on the lingering and youthfully austere finale. This is a Chambolle of contrasts as the lacy mid-palate is markedly different from the borderline rustic finale |

Wine Advocate (90-92)Derived almost exclusively from lieu-dit Les Draze, the 2022 Chambolle-Musigny Village wafts from the glass with aromas of red berries, cherries, rose petals and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and pure, with a concentrated core of fruit framed by sweet tannins, it's showing especially well. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-90)Good deep red. Strawberry, flowers, pepper and pencil lead on the nose. Silky on the palate but a bit tighter than the Combottes, with enticing balance. The peppery nuance carries through in the mouth. Here the tannins are noticeable, though, even a tad dry. This may get a fining, says Jeremy. |

Wine Advocate (95+)The 2009 Charmes-Chambertin is unbelievably sophisticated and gracious. The warmth of the year has filled out the wine beautifully and also softened the tannins. This is a decidedly rich, expansive Charmes that impresses for its aristocratic personality. I hope to taste it again in another decade or so. I noted that the Charmes was quite a bit more complex from bottle than it was from barrel. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. |
