Over the last 30 years, Domaine Dujac has built a fine reputation for making wines of exceptional quality. Located in Morey-St-Denis and covering 11 appellations, including the Grand Crus of Bonnes Mares and Charmes Chambertin, parcels are small and selections precise. This 1990 Clos St Denis has an intense nose, with notes of rhubarb, sour cherries, violets and tan spices. On the palate, the wine is ripe, with fully integrated tannins, crisp acidity and excellent length.

The 1990 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru did not quite match the stellar performance of the bottle at Tour d’Argent, although it came close. It certainly equaled that previous bottle on the nose, which is simply gorgeous, offering very pure red berry fruit that recalls Armand Rousseau in terms of ethereal purity and precision, and hints of orange blossom and bay leaf. There is something almost haunting about this bouquet that leaves you riveted to the spot. The palate… Well, the palate doesn’t quite “seal the deal” like the previous bottle. Why? Just because the warmth of the growing season seems to shape this bottle a little more, leaving it rounded and sensual, fleshy and almost corpulent on the savory finish, with Earl Grey on the aftertaste. It is still an utterly gorgeous Clos Saint-Denis, but from my own experience, there are superior bottles out there. Tasted at the Clos Saint-Denis vertical at Hide restaurant.

Domaine Dujac

A Focus on Terroir

Founded in the late 1960s by Jacques Seysses, who purchased and renovated Domaine Graillet in Morey-St-Denis. The estate is currently run by Jacques' sons Jeremy and Alec, who farm around 17 hectares of vines across the Côte including holdings in Echezeaux, Clos de la Roche, Charmes-Chambertin and Bonnes Mares.

A natural approach is taken in the vineyard and cellar with the estate moving from organic farming to fully biodynamic in the mid 2000s, receiving their certification in 2011. The team's focus is on elegance - temperatures are controlled to keep alcohol in check and also limit malolactic fermentation while juice from the crush is fed into the cellar by gravity only without the use of pumping. The wines of Domaine Dujac represent pure, balanced expressions of their respective terroirs.
