2019 Domaine Dujac (Fils et Pere) Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras #163842648
Vinous
Reviews 90-92 points Wine Advocate "...offering up aromas of plums, cassis, rich spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it concludes with a bright, mineral finish. (WK)" 90-92 points Vinous "It has a rather savory nose with touches of cocoa lacing the dark berry fruit, slightly obscuring the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with supple and forward black cherry and cassis fruit, quite Vosne-like in style with a silky finish. (NM)"

About Domaine Dujac
Unlike most Burgundian wine stories, the story behind Domaine Dujac is that of a self-made man, Jacques Seysses, who left a career in banking to purchase an old winery and create Domaine Dujac in 1967. Almost immediately, he earned acclaim for his flavorful interpretations of the Cote de Nuits’s classic crus. Based in Morey St-Denis, Domaine Dujac started with a mere four hectares, but Jacques has since built it up to nearly 12 hectares today, including holdings in seven legendary grand crus and 11 premier crus. Today the Domaine is run by Jacques' sons Jeremy, Alec, and daughter-in-law, Diana Snowdon, an American enologist.
The Dujac style rests upon constant improvement in the vineyards and the use of traditional methods in the cellars. In 1987, Jacques moved to sustainable farming, then to organic in 2001. Today, he combines organic, biodynamic and integrated pest management practices to optimize the health and productivity of his vines. In the cellars, he uses stems to reduce harsh tannins and bruising of the grapes, reduces the number of rackings, and extends fermentations through cooler temperatures. Consistently delicious and consistently hailed by critics, the wines of Domaine Dujac are must-haves for any serious collector’s cellar.
