About this Item
Domaine Dujac was established in 1967 by Jacques Seysses when he purchased Domaine Marcel Graillet, a poor estate of only 4.5 hectares, and renamed it Domaine du Jacques. Overtime, the name evolved into Domaine Dujac – a playful moniker. Today, they hold around 14.5 hectares and cultivate 18.5 hectares in total. Buying parcels as they became available, the domaine expanded over the years and now owns some of the most exceptional holdings, including the Grands Crus of Echézeaux, Bonnes-Mares, Clos Saint Denis, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Charmes-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche. Aiming for elegance, finesse and complexity, the quality of their seven Grands Crus is a testament to the domaine being one of the Burgundy’s leading producers.

Critics Ratings
‘Opulent nose. Lightly nutty nose. Firm and smoky on the finish. Very substantial. Lots to chew on. Wait! Big, with a warm finish. Always one of the most potent wines of the whole domaine.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com. 16.5/20 (Dec 2017)
'A hint of reduction does not materially detract from the white orchard fruit and lemon-tinged aromas. Here too there is excellent punch to the overtly saline-inflected medium weight flavors that are markedly dry where the citrus element flashed by the nose resurfaces. This is really quite good and worth checking out.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90-92/100 (Jan 2018)
'The 2016 Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Mont Luisants Blanc is a serious step up from the village cru in my opinion. It has a lovely bouquet with passion fruit and light honeyed scents, a hint of ginger developing with time. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, just the right amount of salinité and a brisk, focused finish. Very fine and full of charm and character.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90-92/100 (Dec 2017)
