Founded by Jacques Seyesses in 1968, today Domaine Dujac is run by Jacques' son Jeremy who has followed his father's example in constantly creating wines of impeccable class, acclaim and sensuality. The entire Domaine is farmed sustainably, and they maintain one of the most enviable portfolio of vineyard sites. Throughout the wine world it would be hard to find an estate where the wines and the people behind them are so beloved despite their relative valuation.

Domaine Dujac

In the late 1960s Jacques Seyesses set in motion what is now more than half a century of sublime excellence in winemaking. Long interested in wines due to his own father's tastes, Jacques took a job working under Gerard Potel, who was at that point at the pinnacle of winemaking importance at the famed Domaine de la Pousse d'Or. After two harvests, Jacques felt comfortable enough in the winemaking world that he purchased Domaine Graillet, renaming it somewhat eponymously as Domaine Dujac (du-Jacques). The first purchase included the vineyards that Dujac is perhaps most known for, Clos de la Roche & Clos Saint Denis.

From the get-go, Dujac's wines were pure and deep in flavor, as Jacques had set out to combine traditional winemaking with smart farming, coaxing maximum ripeness from his grapes while preserving each site's unique identity. Today, though the estate has grown from what was five hectares to twelve, the focus is very much the same in the hands of Jeremy Seyesses - Jacques' son - and his wife Diana Snowden.

Though all vineyards are farmed sustainably, about 75% are done so with biodynamic principles in effect as well. Much as Jacques had set in motion, there are a good proportion of stems preserved in the fermentations of all wines, and the wines ferment slowly in the cool, underground cellars, resulting in wines of impeccable finesse.

The light to medium ruby-colored Clos de la Roche offers an earthy, mineral, and sweet berry fruit-scented nose. What follows is a wine of moderate constitution, undeniable elegance, and graceful Pinot fruit. Some hard tannin is noticeable in the finish, but it is not cause for concern. This wine should age gracefully for a decade or more, offering complex aromatics, and sweet, gamey Pinot fruit in a medium-bodied format. While Domaine Dujac's 1993s possess some of the characteristic Jacques Seysses precociousness, they also contain plenty of structure and tannin. To my surprise, Seysses feels that the 1993 vintage is "one of his greatest, even better than 1990," which he now dismisses as "over-ripe" and "atypical."

The 1993 Clos-de-la-Roche Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet, very well defined with cranberry, crushed stone and undergrowth scents. Perhaps I would have liked to see more fruit. The palate shows quite a bit of stem addition. There is certainly some hardness here compared to other 1993s, so it does not translate the elegance of the vintage. But it feels long and grippy, the finish a little austere but fresh. I doubt this will improve with continued bottle age but should last another decade. Tasted at the Burgfest evening dinner.
