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
‘Quite deeply colored. Markedly ripe and floral notes are composed of plum, cassis, spice, earth and a hint of menthol. There is exceptionally good richness and volume to the concentrated and muscular large-scaled flavors that possess a velvety, even suave mouth feel before culminating in a very firmly structured yet well-balanced finale where the only reproach is a hint of warmth. This highly seductive effort is one of those wines that could be enjoyed now even though it is obviously still on the way up and will be for the better part of the next two decades. I would further note that this is more marked by the 2009 vintage than is the Clos St. Denis. Tasted twice in the last year with consistent results. Drink 2034+.’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 94/100 (Nov 2017)
