Domaine Dujac in Burgundy was acquired by Jacques Seysses in 1967. The domaine in Morey-St-Denis had 4 hectares of vineyards and he has subsequently built it up to 11.5 hectares. Domaine Dujac now includes holdings in Clos de la Roche, Clos St-Denis, Bonnes-Mares, Echézeaux and Charmes-Chambertin . "Use knowledge and technology to counter accidents - for example, bad weather - but, if all is going well, don't interfere," says Seysses and this principle guides much of what happens in the vineyards and the cellars. Dujac wines are neither filtered nor fined and all of his premiers and grands crus are aged in 100% new oak. These are wines of the very highest order.

Intensely floral notes of rose petal, lavender, violet and acacia add both elegance and breadth to the dark cherry and wonderfully spicy aromas. The rich, dense and highly seductive medium weight plus flavors possess a dusty, mouth coating impressively complex finish that delivers outstanding length. This is also going to require at least some patience but should mature into a seriously good Ech. Date: Jan 2022; Drink: 2035+; Issue: 85; Rating 92-95 Points; Allen Meadows; Burghound

One block runs north-south which is a boon in hotter conditions. Fine glowing purple, elegance and concentration on the nose, more in red fruits rather than the riper characters, saline notes behind, this has retained its latticework detail which is for me a classic signature of Échézeaux.
