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.
The 2008 Dujac Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts is an exceptional Burgundy wine from the Vosne-Romanée appellation, specifically from the highly regarded 1er Cru vineyard Aux Malconsorts.

Critics Ratings
‘The 2008 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru has a more backward, more fruit-driven bouquet when compared directly to the 2006 and 2007 with high-toned Morello cherry and raspberry confit scents, just a touch feistier than I expect. The palate is juicier and displays more body than the first two vintages. There is more presence and a little more grip, although still falling short of what I would expect from this vineyard. However, its initially understated opening, discretely builds in the mouth and leads to an edgy, ferrous finish with touches of brown spice and orange rind lingering on the aftertaste. This is a very competent Aux Malconsorts, though the following two vintages are clearly better. Tasted at Flint Wines Malconsort vertical. Drinking window 2018 - 2028.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous.com, 92/100 (Mar 2019)
'Light to mid brick red. Undergrowth and savoury umami notes starting to dominate on the nose. Deliciously spicy too. The palate is the mirror image of the aroma, savoury and spiced, but the fruit core, even if no longer primary, gives the balance and shape. A little dry on the finish but that’s tasting it at 11 am and without food. At the table I think it would be just perfect.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (May 2018)
‘The 2008 Vosne-Romanee Aux Malconsorts blossoms with endless layers of dark fruit. This is a totally sensual, enveloping wine graced with finesse, class and elegance. The Malconsorts is a pretty open 2008, but it will be even better in another few years’ time. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028.’ – Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (May 2011)
