Clos Saint-Denis was a church-owned vineyard during the Middle Ages, belonging to the Collégiale de St-Denis de Vergy. Today, the 6.6-hectare Grand Cru is shared by almost 20 owners, including high-profile producers such as Maison Louis Jadot, Domaine Ponsot, Joseph Drouhin and the prestigious Domaine Dujac with 1.30 hectares. This is their release from 1997, a vintage which presented attractive red wines from day one. Expect a very attractive nose, including aromas of red cherries, strawberries, plums, a touch of spices and smoke. On the palate, this is a mature, well-balanced Pinot Noir, with a silky texture and firm acidity.
Medium red. Deeper pitched, complex aromas of black raspberry, gunpowder, mulch, smoke and charred oak. Big and rich in the mouth, with excellent depth of flavor and solid underlying structure. Note of tarry oak. Smooth, fresh and very persistent on the finish. I like this.Stephen Tanzer1st March 1999

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.
