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 2011 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a well-defined, transparent bouquet that is atypically reserved and is missing a little exuberance exhibited by say, Rousseau’s, that I encountered earlier the same day. The palate is medium-bodied with a very grippy entry. This is a stern, serious Charmes-Chambertin that needs to develop more –”charm.” Drink 2015-2022. I have been visiting Jeremy and Alec Seysses at Domaine Dujac for several years now, and it is always one of my favorite ports of call. Alec, looking surprisingly chipper for a new dad had taken time off nappy duty to guide me through the 2011s this year. I have to confess that I was concerned by the conspicuous nature of the new oak on both their negociant label wines and the entry Village Crus. I felt that 35% new oak tended to overwhelm the fruit and terroir and occasionally impart drying finishes, which is why my scores are parsimonious here. As I tasted through the range toward the flock of Grand Crus the oak seemed better assimilated, although I would still maintain that the wine is of such quality that the present level of oak risks being superfluous to requirements. All the negociant label wines were bottled before Christmas.

The 2011 Charmes-Chambertin comes across as immediate and wonderfully expressive, even at this early stage. What the Charmes lacks in structure or pure visceral thrill it more than makes up for with its supple, engaging personality. Dark blue/purplish fruit, spices, violets and mint meld together in a layered, vibrant Charmes that is intense yet also very much medium in body and approachable for a Grand Cru. In this vintages, proprietor Jeremy Seysses used 70% whole clusters, all of which are integrated quite nicely.
