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
‘I have never been completely convinced by Dujac's wines this vintage and on this occasion it is surpassed by Bertheau's Amoureuses. Deep in colour with some bricking on the rim, the nose offers red fruit, burnt toast and bell pepper, just a little muddled, to be truly honest. The palate has a strong stemminess that occludes the terroir expression. Yes, it is fresh and enjoyable, but I feel the stems dictates this Bonnes-Mares to its detriment. Tasted at The Glasshouse restaurant. Drinking window 2019 - 2026.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous.com, 89/100 (May 2019)
‘The Dujac 2007 Bonnes Mares displays a wild berry concentration and pungent, resinous and horehound-like herbal notes I associate with this site. Dark suggestions of game probably offer a glimpse of the evolution to come, though this is corseted with fine-grained tannin and an almost stony undertone takes on unexpected prominence in its forceful, gripping finish. Here’s one 2007 almost sure to be worth following for close to a decade.’ – David Schildknecht, Wine Advocate, 92/100 (Jun 2010)
