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
‘The 2010 Vosne-Romanée Aux Malconsorts 1er Cru is much more reticent and backward on the nose compared to the 2009 however, I love the “coiled-up” intensity of this Malconsorts that suggests it is built for longevity. Even in the glass, with aeration it reveals enticing red berry fruit, cola, tobacco and sous-bois scents that demonstrate more complexity than previous vintages. The palate is very well balanced with sumptuous tannins: layers of red berry fruit that feel delineated and pure, a discrete undercurrent of spice with a detailed finish that fans out with more confidence and gusto than the 2009 Malconsorts. Excellent! Tasted at Flint Wines's Domaine Dujac tasting in London. Drinking window 2020 - 2040.’ – Neal Martin, Vinous.com, 96/100 (Mar 2019)
