Reviews 90-93 points Wine Advocate "The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes mingles aromas of sweet yellow orchard fruit and mirabelle plum with notes of hazelnuts and clear honey. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with a fleshy core of fruit, it's more layered and concentrated than the Folatieres. (WK)" 92-94 points Vinous "The 2021 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes 1er Cru was picked on the same day as the Les Folatieres, though (as usual) there is greater mineralite and tension on the nose, more energy. The palate is harmonious on the entry with veins of apricot and wild peach. This has a little more flair than the Folatieres with a clean and precise finish. Delicious. This will be difficult to resist in its youth. (NM)"

About Domaine Dujac
Domaine Dujac, nestled in Morey St-Denis, was borne out of Jacques Seysses' transition from a banking career to winemaking in 1967. Today, this esteemed estate covers nearly 12 hectares, boasting holdings in seven grand crus and 11 premier crus vineyards, each nurtured and cultivated meticulously for over five decades. It is now managed by Jacques' sons, Jeremy and Alec, and Jeremy's wife, Diana Snowdon, an enologist from America.
Jacques' unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and traditional winemaking methods continues to shine through the estate's practices. The team has progressively integrated sustainable farming since 1987, followed by organic practices in 2001. Today, a multifaceted approach, comprising organic, biodynamic, and integrated pest management, ensures the health and productivity of the vines.
Under Jacques' tutelage, innovative cellar practices have been developed and refined. The inclusion of stems during vinification mitigates the development of harsh tannins and grape bruising. Fermentation is extended through cooler temperatures, and rackings are reduced. These practices help maintain the inherent freshness and balance in the wines.
Dujac's wines offer more than mere varietal correctness; they serve as evocative narratives of some of the world's most renowned wine-growing sites. Through Jacques' trailblazing blend of traditional and modern techniques, the estate's offerings have quickly gained global recognition, gracing the wine lists of prestigious restaurants and garnering critical acclaim. They are emblematic of Burgundy, delivering a unique terroir expression that sets them apart.
The Seysses family's dedication is palpable in their wines. From the vines' meticulous pruning to the minimal intervention in the cellars, every step is guided by a profound respect for terroir and a desire to produce the finest fruit possible. It is this passion and commitment to excellence that have secured Domaine Dujac's position as one of Burgundy's top-tier producers. Each bottle of Dujac's wine is a testament to the family's dedication, a treat for wine lovers, and a must-have for serious collectors.
