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 2015 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is a young classic, revealing a youthful bouquet of cherries, red berries, candied peel, rose petal and currant leaf, with little to hint at the savory bass notes to come. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with an ample chassis of chalky tannins cloaked in a deep core of intense, crunchy fruit, its finish long and taut. This Bonnes Mares is more structurally assertive than the Clos Saint-Denis and even the elegant Clos de la Roche, and it will demand correspondingly greater patience while it develops in the cellar.

Bright, dark red. The ineffable nose offers a very sexy blend of red fruits, spices, mocha, flowers and herbs. Silky and seamless but with superb integrated acidity giving punch to the intense flavors of raspberry, cocoa powder, flowers and spices. Finishes very suave and very long, with noble tannins perfectly supported by the wine's strong extract. This wine, made from a yield of just 25 hectoliters per hectare, could easily have been overripe or unwieldy in 2015 but it transcends the vintage in its juicy energy and light touch.
