Dujac Fils & Père is the négociant enterprise founded in 2000 by the prestigious Domaine Dujac. The Seysses family`s aim was to create a selection of wines that are more approachable and can be enjoyed when they are young. Their present portfolio encompasses three village wines, a Morey-Saint-Denis, a Chambolle-Musigny, and the featured Gevrey-Chambertin. In the case of the 2006 vintage, it unveils an expressive bouquet with earthy undertones and dark berry aromas. The flavours, while medium to full-bodied, possess a richness and freshness, displaying notable concentration considering the vintage conditions.

The Dujac 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Fils & Pere incorporates fruit from the Champs-Chenys (neighboring Charmes), Epointures (hit hard by hail this year), and Les Justices, as well as a parcel in En Champs (bordering Brochon) whose vines Seysses says is more than a hundred years old. Fresh, tart but ripe cherry is tinged with sage and brown spices as well as chalky, stony notes. But this is rather lean and the tannins turn a bit dry in the finish, reflecting the challenges of hail-afflicted sectors. All in all, it will serve admirably if carefully paired and if enjoyed within the next 2-3 years.
Jeremy Seysses only destemmed a minority of his 2006 fruit, and in some appellations none. The results demonstrate that Dujac got things ripe – not to mention right – in a challenging vintage, with a collection that need not fear comparison with 2005 at this address. (Perhaps, if anything, 2005 ought to look to its laurels!) The team here started picking only on September 23, and then very meticulously and selectively. Clos de la Roche, for example, was picked in two passes nearly a week apart. The top wines came in at between 13 and 13.5% natural alcohol, with minimal chaptalization employed in some instances to extend fermentation. "Color and flavor extraction was easy," says Seysses, "and we did more punch-downs than in 2005, because we felt quite confident of our material. The fruit is fresh and crisp, but not green, and we had no jamminess. It was just right. There's very little to complain about." Indeed!

Good ruby-red. Wild, slightly reduced aromas and flavors of blackberry, minerals, mocha and game. The sweetest of these three 2006s but with good spicy, peppery lift from the inclusion of stems. Offers very good texture and structure, finishing with lingering, slightly rustic notes of leather and meat.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2008
