RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

Sweet rose petals, violets, mint, anise and red berries lift... Exotic, floral & wonderfully lifted, pure grace and femininity... Hard candy, flowers and spices reappear on the focused, beautifully delineated finish... very nicely balanced.

95Burghound.com

Pure, fresh and dazzlingly elegant nose that displays plenty of lavender and violet nuances on the black cherry, cassis and plum scents. The rich, round and beguilingly seductive flavors brim with mouth coating dry extract

94The Wine Advocate

...an appealing, very fragrant bouquet with pure blackberry, boysenberry, black tea and wilted rose petals that are all beautifully defined... medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity and a tightly wound, mineral-rich finish...

17.5+ Jancis Robinson

Quite rich and opulent. Very nice even if not amazingly concentrated. Precise.

PRODUCER

Domaine Dujac

Domaine Dujac in Morey Saint Denis is relatively young by the standards of Burgundy estates. It was founded in 1967 when Louis Seysses, a food manufacturer who enjoyed good food and wine, bought an existing domaine so his son Jacques could try his hand at winemaking. Jacques had already apprenticed at other Burgundy estates, and Domaine Dujac’s first vintage was 1968. Dujac wines quickly earned acclaim and today they are, in the words of Burgundy expert Clive Coates, “intense, perfumed, silky-smooth and impeccably balanced.” The domaine remains a family operation which includes roles for Jacques’ wife, two sons and a daughter-in-law. The estate is comprised of 28 acres including prime parcels in the Grand Cru vineyards Clos de la Roche and Clos Saint-Denis. There are also parcels in Charmes-Chambertin, Bonnes-Mares, Echezeaux, Chambertin and Romanee-Saint-Vivant.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Romanee-St. Vivant

The vineyard faces east, has a gentle incline and an elevation of 250 to 265 meters. The soil is clay and limestone.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
